ERNEST JOHN LANIGAN 

Author of the Baseball Cyclopedia; one of the game's foremost statisticians and 
frequently referred to as the "Fearless Writer." 



ERNEST JOHN LANIGAN 



ERNEST J. LANIGAN was born in Chicago, Illinois, January fourth, eighteen hun- 
dred and seventy-three. Early in life he developed a fondness for baseball which 
has been his leading characteristic. Lanigan's interest, however, was centered in 
the press box rather than the diamond, for at an age when most young fellows are busy 
scooping up grounders and batting safe hits, Lanigan was already engaged in the varied 
experiences of a scribe. And almost from the first his activities were directed to ferreting 
out obscure facts and tabulating statistics, an occupation in which he has won a place 
at the very head of baseball statisticians. 

Lanigan's first job was with the Philadelphia Record away back in 1887. The next 
year he was with Sporting News in St. Louis where he remained through 1891. The 
following eight years he was a bank clerk. But whatever his occupation he retained his 
interest in baseball and spent his spare time in tabulating and writing for numerous 
publications. 

Lanigan's health gave way in 1901 and he was obliged to spend most of the next two 
years in the Adirondack Mountains nursing a weak lung. But he was never for a moment 
out of touch with baseball and continued his researches and investigations wherever he 
chanced to be located. In 1903 and 1904 he was Treasurer and Press Representative 
of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. He was manager of this Orchestra in 1905, 
but was obliged to lay off most of the following season because of an attack of pneu- 
monia to which his infected lungs seemed to render him peculiarly susceptible. In fact, 
Lanigan has had no fewer than three attacks of pneumonia. These attacks put him but 
of the running temporarily, but they couldn't hold him back very long. In 1907, 
Lanigan became baseball editor of the New York Press, a job which he held for four 
years. He gave it up to accept the position of Secretary of the Eastern League in 1911. 
The following two years saw him mixed up in numerous business enterprises. In 1914, 
he was press representative of Washington and' Lee University. In 1915, he was farm- 
ing on the Hudson River. In 1916, he became baseball editor of the Cleveland Leader. 
All these years, however, he was writing syndicate articles and keeping up his statistical 
researches. In 1917, Lanigan devoted his time mainly to catching up with his numerous 
assignments with various papers. That job, in fact, has kept him busily occupied ever 
since. However, for the past three seasons he has found time to be press representative 
and auditor of the Syracuse Baseball Club in the International League. 

In his long career, as a statistician, Lanigan has introduced various novelties into the 
records. Perhaps the most prominent innovation for which he is responsible is the 
column in the batting records now maintained by most professional leagues which indi- 
cates the number of runs batted in by every player during the season. Lanigan has 
written baseball very steadily since 1888 and though somewhat worn arid weather beaten 
by his numerous bouts with ill health, still feels game for many more seasons, with the 
big show. 

Lanigan is perhaps the most independent sport writer in the business. He loves his 
work much more than any financial consideration. More than one good job has been 
offered him only to be turned down because he didn't want to spare the time. An in- 
flated bank roll means very little to Lanigan. Personal independence means everything. 
He has been called, with good reason, the fearless writer, and yet he has few or no 
enemies. He is uncompromisingly honest, hard working, accurate. Baseball is under 
lasting obligations to him for the clear, concise and correct manner in which he has for 
years presented striking facts and figures of the game for popular approval. No more 
original or sturdily independent character ever penned a column for a sport sheet. And 
it can be stated without fear of contradiction, that baseball has produced no abler 
statistician than Ernest John Lanigan.

THE NATIONAL PASTIME 



MANY thousands of words could be 
used by the historian in telling the 
story of Baseball. The career of the 
National Game, the National Pastime, or 
whatever else you desire to call it might 
occupy volumes but filling them would get 
the subject little further than it has been 
carried before. 

The World Almanac, to which the con- 
stant seeker after information turns when 
he desires certain necessary data, says that 
ball playing was popular in Egypt 4,000 
years ago and a leather ball has been used 
ever since in almost every country including 
China. 

"But batting the ball," continues the 
W. A., "is a modern innovation. According 
to the Commission appointed at A. G. 
Spalding's suggestion in 1907 baseball 
originated in the United States, and the 
first scheme for playing it was devised by 
Major General Abner Doubleday in 1839, 
at Cooperstown, N. Y. The game was 
developed from Town Ball into a diamond- 
shaped field, and a code of playing rules 
was adopted by the Knickerbocker Baseball 
Club of New York in 1845. In 1858 the 
National Association of Baseball Players 
was formed and the first game with an 
admission fee was played July 20, at the 
Fashion Race Course, near Jamaica, L. I., 
between the New York and Brooklyn clubs. 
The first tour of an organized club was made 
through New York State, in 1860, by the 
Excelsiors, of Brooklyn. The first Eastern 
club to tour the west was the National of 
Washington, D. C. The first professional 
baseball club (1869) was the Cincinnati 
(Red Stockings), formed in 1866 as an 
amateur organization. The National Asso- 
ciation of Professional Baseball Players was 
formed in 1871 (with ten clubs) ; the 
National League of Professional Baseball 
Clubs, in 1876 ; the American Association, 
in 1882 ; the American League, in 1902." 

Further condensed data about The 
National Pastime, or The National Obses- 
sion, as it frequently becomes, can be found 
in The Little Red Book, which is Part III 
of Spalding's Official Baseball Record of 
1922. The tabloid information begins on 
Page 75. On the title page it is stated by 
Editor John B. Foster and Compiler 
Charles D. White that the accurate facts 
gathered came f^-om about 30 reference 
books. Messrs. Foster and White might 
have stated, at the same time, that very few 
people have the 30 reference books in ques- 
tion and they might have added that to 
gather these facts required only about fif- 
teen years of hard, hard work. 



This contribution to baseball literature 
represents the unpaid and enthusiastic co- 
operation of a lot of persons connected with, 
involved in or interested in. The National 
Pastime. Attempt has been made to furnish 
the public with a handy reference book on 
Baseball and the effort will be made to 
keep it strictly up-to-date by issuing annual 
supplements. 

All the facts that follow are guaranteed 
under the Pure Dope Act, and a great many 
of them have been supplied by people who 
have obtained nothing out of The National 
Pastime except the keen interest gained in 
following it. 

To Charles W. Mears of Cleveland, 
Bradshaw H. Swales of Washington, Al 
Munro Elias of New York, Charles D. 
White of the Spalding Forces, Charles J. 
Foreman of Baltimore, Gerald E. Price of 
Elmira, Carroll B. Mayon and Arthur J. 
Shean of Springfield, Mass., and to a flock 
of present and past members of the Baseball 
Writers' Association of America, is due the 
credit if the reading public finds this book 
a help ; to the writer is due the blame if 
it doesn't. 

— — 

Previous to 1870 baseball was indulged in 
more for its healthful exercise and the sport 
it furnished than as a business enterprise 
or profession, which it has now become. 
Harry Wright's renowned Red Stockings of 
Cincinnati were the first regularly organized 
professional team in the country and they 
played through their first season in 1869 
without sustaining a defeat, following this 
up by winning the championship in 1870. 

George Leonard Moreland's Balldom, 
Page Nos. 13 to 15 inclusive, gives the re- 
markable record of the Reds, who didn't 
know what defeat was until they met the 
Atlantics of Brooklyn at Brooklyn on June 
14, 1870. Then they were beaten in 11 
innings, 8 to 7. Their highest score game 
was 108 to 8, against the , Unions, at 
Urbana, Ohio, in 1870. The year before, in 
Cincinnati, the Unions, who certainly repre- 
sented Lansingburg and who may not have 
been the Unions who pastimed in Urbana, 
played a 17 to 17 tie game with the Royster- 
ing Reds. 

Mr. Moreland figures that in the two 
years of their glory the Reds travelled 
11,877 miles to play 57 combats, but there 
is something wrong in his calculations, for 
the record of games presented shows that at 
least 80 were run off and there probably were 
more.

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



The grand total of the Reds for 1869 and 
1870, as shown by Mr, Moreland, undoubt- 
edly should apply to 1869 only. George 
Wright batted at a .518 clip then and the 
team made 169 home runs. The highest 
salaried player, George Wright, signed for 
$1400 a season ; the lowest salaried players 
drew $800 a year. Nowadays a college 
player of repute will get twice the last named 
sum just to sign with a major league team. 

THE EARLIESt''"lEAGUE 

The World Almanac, quoted previously as 
an authority, gives the number of the clubs 
in the earliest of the leagues, the National 
Association of Professional Base Ball 
Players, or the National Professional Asso- 
ciation, as Francis C. Richter, who •ought 
to know, calls it, as ten, but apparently 
there were only nine. These were Boston, 
Chicago, the Athletic of Philadelphia, the 
Mutual of New York, the Olympic of 
Washington, the Haymakers of Troy, the 
Forest City of Cleveland, the Kekionga of 
Fort Wayne and the Forest City of Rock- 
ford. The first year the N. P. A. func- 
tioned was 1871 and it continued to function 
for five years. 

Spalding's Official Base Ball Record has 
Hie National League starting in 1871 and 
includes among that organization's pennant 
winners the Athletics of 1871 and the 
Bostons of the next four years. 

Mr. Richter, founder of the earliest base- 
ball paper, The Sporting Life, and a man 
who sacrificed time and money to help make 
baseball what it now is, gives a very inter- 
esting and authentic account of the activities 
of what w^e are calling the National Pro- 
fessional Association in his Sporting Life 
Base Ball Guide and Hand-Book, published 
in 1891. 

From this hand book, which the fans of 
the time were able to buy for one small 
dime, the records of the contesting clubs, 
the players on the champion teams and the 
leading batsmen for each of the five years, 
have been lifted and are presented below. 
That no percentages are given the clubs will 
be explained later, when certain remarks are 
made about the first rival of the National 
League, said rival being the American Asso- 
ciation. The records in question :

'''l^'^g'"'^^^^ 

Mr. Richter, in telling about the last 
season of the National Professional Asso- 
ciation (1875), says that it had become 
permeated with dishonesty in its ranks and 
therefore unpopular with the public. The 
wind-up found 13 clubs competing for the 
championship, St. Louis being the only one 
of the new entries that did not disband 
before the season closed. 

Philadelphia had three clubs — the Ath- 
letic, Philadelphia and Centennials. Regard- 
ing the latter, Mr. Richter Says : 

"The Centennials played but few games, 
and their brief existence is only noteworthy 
for the fact that with them began the sale 
of players, a custom that has grown to 
tremendous proportions since. The Centen- 
nial Club contained but two first-class 
players — Craver and Bechtel. The rival 
Philadelphia club, the Athletics, wanted 
these two, and two wealthy members of the 
club paid an official of the Centennial to 
have the two players released and trans- 
ferred to the Athletic Club. This was done 
and shortly after the Centennial Club was 
disbanded. It was a peculiar fact that the 
first sale of players brought retribution with 
it, as Craver turned out to be crooked, and 
Bechtel took Anson's place so often that 
the latter became dissatisfied and later 
seceded to the Chicago Club." 

THE'''NATrONA^^ 

The National League is now 46 years old, 
NOW being 1922. It was organized Febru- 
ary 2, 1876, in New York City, with William 
A. Hulbert of Chicago doing most of the 
organizing and with Albert G. Spalding, who 
had gone from Boston to the Windy City, 



doing a great deal of the suggesting. The 
pioneer clubs were Chicago, managed by 
A. G. Spalding ; Hartford, managed by 
Robert Ferguson ; St. Louis, managed by 
S. W. Graffen ; Boston, managed by Harry 
Wright (William Henry Wright his real 
name was, unless certain historians have 
been misinformed) ; Louisville, managed by 
John C. Chapman ; Mutual of Brooklyn, 
managed by G. W. H. Cannmyer ; Athletic 
of Philadelphia, managed by Al H. Wright, 
and Cincinnati, managed by C. H. Gould. 
They finished in the order named and played 
a 70-game schedule. 

To stick on through 46 years was not tlie 
easiest task in the world for the parent body. 
The National League rescued the game from 
disrepute, and then later some National 
League politicians acted in such a manner 
that many fans would have been pleased had 
the organization received a death blow from 
some of its rivals. 

The National, until the advent of the 
American League, always was considered a 
bit better than its rivals. It survived wars 
with the American Association, the Players' 
League, the Union Association, the Federal 
League and the American League, the last 
named being the only one that practically 
made the senior league sue for peace. In 
the fight with the Federals, the American 
League stood with the National and in the 
fight with the Players' League the American 
Association also lined up with the 46 (going 
on 47) year old organization. 

The National League had the assistance 
of the American Association in battling the 
Union Association, it being the habit of the 
senior leaguers to suggest plans for their 
associates they wouldn't follow themselves. 
Looking backward on the baseball trail, it 
seems strange that the word bonehead wasn't 
introduced into our national game at the 
time the early overlords of baseball were 
blundering. 

And digressing for a minute the first trace 
of bonehead in baseball came during the 
George Stallings regime in Philadelphia, 
which was in 1897 and 1898. Then the 
present half owner of the Rochester Inter- 
national League club commanded a hard 
hitting and slow thinking team. His ath- 
letes played extremely poorly in Pittsburgh 
one day and one of the public prints of the 
Smoky City the following morning carried 
an interview with George of Georgia in 
which he alluded to his pastimers as a set 
of boneheads. 

The National Leaguers, up to the time 
the American League decided it wished to be 
a national organization and not merely a 
sectional body, always were far superior 
thinkers to their peaceful or warring rivals. 
They would lose a battle at the turnstiles

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



and win every decision in the council 
chamber. 

Some of the council chamber decisions cost 
certain club owners heavily (pioneer club 
owners are meant, not those of today), and 
frequently to own a National League fran- 
chise meant having a liability instead of an 
asset. 

Yet to remain in existence for 46 years 
shows that despite many queer ideas on the 
part of a limited, but powerful, few, the 
National League has stuck pretty constantly 
to the scheme of its founders. They were' 
for honest sport. 

Where the National League got into jams 
and into disfavor was where one or two 
men considered themselves greater than the 
game. Never did the National League wel- 
come a rival. It was against the American 
Association at the start and it turned down 
a proposition from the American League in 
1901 when Mr. Byron Bancroft Johnson's 
organization desired to go into certain cities 
peaceably. The American Leaguers went 
anyhow, and baseball was benefitted in 
every way because the Johnsonians didn't 
drop their plans when permission to push 
them through was denied. 

.nu^_n„n^_,nnnn,_ 

War No. 1 for the National Leaguers was 
in 1884 with the Union Association. Henry 
V. Lucas of St. Louis, possessed of large 
means, was the leader of the Unions, who, 
of course, were called Onions by the sarcas- 
tic and loyal scribes of the time. The Unions 
lasted one year and retired from business 
when the National League gave Mr. Lucas 
permission to place his club in the American 
Association territory of St. Louis. 

Naturally Chris Von der Ahe, Der Boss 
President of the Conquering Browns, pro- 
tested vigorously against Henry V. being 
recognized by O. B., but the protest got 
him nothing, for this good and sufficient 
reason : 

The Brooklyn club of the American Asso- 
ciation had, buying certain players from the 
Cleveland National League club, which was 
going to quit, negotiated for their purchase 
before the legal time. 

The dear old agreement under which the 
majors were operating had been violated and 
the National League wanted Brooklyn 
expelled. When the Association let Lucas 
acquire a National League franchise in St. 
Louis, the National Leaguers whitewashed 
the Brooklyn-Cleveland transaction. Another 
victory for the National Leaguers in the 
chamber council and a costly' victory for 
Lucas, as he lost more in the National 
League than he did in his Union (or Onion) 
Association. 



When the Unions (or Onions) were being 
fought the National Leaguers suggested that 
it would be a good idea for the American 
Association to have a 12-club circuit to shut 
out the invaders, the result being that the 
younger league had an unwieldly wheel and 
lost out in a couple of places where there 
was competition. Washington was one of 
these, the Senators having to quit and 
Richmond getting into fast company. 

g'Q'i^'Jifi''''THE'''sEC 

Scrap II in which the National League 
was involved came six years later (in 1890), 
and was with the members of the Baseball 
Brotherhood. These, the stars of their time, 
had previously wanted certain concessions 
from the magnates and got them not. 
Rather irritated and seeing that the turn- 
stiles were clicking merrily, the athletes 
turned to capitalists for cash and consola- 
tion — and got both. 

Financiers were found able and willing 
to put up cash to erect new plants, some 
players putting up money, too, and most of 
the stars being with the movement to leave 
the magnates flat and to share the profits 
of the season of 1890 with their new 
employers. 

Like all wars the players suffered, except 
those who were wise or weak enough to 
listen to arguments of high priced lawyers 
that the reserve clause bound them to their 
old clubs, which were ready to pay them to 
rubberleg back. The players who stuck got 
no profits and shared in the losses. Busi- 
ness for the National League clubs was poor 
and it was poor for the Brotherhood (or 
Players' League ) clubs. 

Had the players stuck together the 
National League today would not be in exis- 
tence, for at the annual meeting of the 
National League in New York, on November 
13, 1889, the club owners, counting the num- 
ber of athletes they had on hand, found but 
one — Adrian Constantine Anson. Then came 
deserters from the Brotherhood movement, 
then some minor leaguers were picked up 
and eventually the National League had 
enough talent to supply its eight clubs. 

These, in 1890, played with the standard 
Spalding ball and the Brotherhood played 
with a ball of its own make. The ball was 
lively and the scores of games in the new 
league were large, the public getting the idea 
the brand of ball played was very inferior 
to that of 1889 and not being able to digest 
all the games set before it. 

In cities where there were two clubs, these 
clubs . competed for patronage, the schedules 
being practically duplicates. No one had 
sense enough to see that two clubs for one 
city would be all right if 140 games of ball

could be played on 140 days instead of 70. 

At the end of the season the National 
League was licked, so was the Players' 
League, and the American Association, an 
innocent bystander, had been licked, too, and 
was but a shade of its former powerful self. 

Worst off of all the organizations, though, 
was the National, for the Players' League 
people had pulled a coup by buying the 
Cincinnati National League club. 

Here was the National League with seven 
clubs, practically ready for the count, but it 
never got it. 

The millionaires, or near millionaires, who 
had backed the Players' League listened to 
the talk of the National League club owners 
and there was a consolidation. Before that 
th,e strong clubs in the weakened American 
Association had spurned overtures to go in 
with the strong clubs of the Players' League. 

tussle'''the'''Sird 

In baseball, as well as in real life, virtue 
is its own reward and the virtuous American 
As^ci^tion clubs soon got wh^t the fan 
public considered a raw deal from the law 
abiding National League clubs. This raw 
deal led to Baseball War No. 3, with the 
National League battling the American Asso- 
ciation, whose strong clubs it always was 
ready to make room for. 

Before going on to Tussle the Third see 
how much truth there is to the foregoing 
statement. The National League, in 1891, 
had tfiis circuit : Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, 
Cincinnati, Cleveland, New York, Philadel- 
phia and Pittsburgh. Boston and Chicago 
had been in the parent organization since 
its birth, in 1876, and New York and Phila- 
delphia were legitimate National Leagtie 
cities, too, the career of both dating from 
1883. 

What of the other four, though? 

Brooklyn and Cincinnati joined the 
National League in 1890, Cleveland in 1889 
and Pittsburgh in 1887. 

All four resigned from the American Asso- 
siation in order to get into the National 
League. 

They were baseball cities that had been 
developed in the American Association and 
under its regime. 

So when the American Association is 
thought of think of it as a real league. 

It was. 

Getting on to Tussle the Third, that eame 
about because of an eminently unjust, but 
perfectly legal, ruling on the part of the 
Board of Control in the cases of Players 
Harry D. Stovey and Louis Bierbauer, who 
were stars of the Athletic American Associa- 
tion team in 1889 and who cast their for- 
tunes with the Brotherhood * the next year. 



The Athletics, after peace was declared 
between the National League and American 
League, neglected to reserve these men, 
thinking such a procedure unnecessary. 

Harry Pulliam's motto of "Take nothing 
for granted in baseball" wasn't in existence 
then. 

It ought to have been. 

The Boston National Leaguers sent a man 
out and signed Stovey am\ the Pittsburgh 
National Leaguers shot a chap out and 
snared Bierbauer. The Board of Control 
promptly decided that the National League 
clubs were within their rights in doing this, 
the decision giving general dissatisfaction. 
The poor A's had been innocent bystanders 
in the war of the previous year and had been 
terribly treated, and now with the dove of 
peace hovering around they had gotten a 
rawer deal. 

So the American Association deposed its 
lawyer president, girded up its loins and 
went out and battled the National League. 
When October, 1891, rolled round both sides 
were ready for peace, there were a flock of 
depleted bank rolls and the National League 
became the National League and American 
Association of Professional Base Ball Clubs, 
with a 12-club circuit. 

As to who got the decision in the war of 
1891, National League or American Asso- 
ciation, most people living in those times 
would say neither did. 

AMERICAN'rEAOT^^ 

There was no question as to the winner of 
the Baseball War of 1901 and 1902, in which 
the National League went to the mat with 
the young and sturdy American League. 
The American League, which was never 
going to start in 1901 (see numerous predic- 
tions by National Leaguers in the public 
prints winter of 1900-1901), started and 
went through the season, placing competing 
clubs in Boston and Philadelphia and occu- 
pying the vacant territory of Washington 
and Baltimore. 

The Johnsonites first asked for permission 
to invade Boston and Philadelphia and 
occupy Washington and Baltimore, and 
when they didn't get it went ahead and did 
so anyway. In 1900 a club had been placed 
in Chicago and another one in Cleveland 
and at the time the circuit of the Western 
League was changed its title was also 
changed to the American League. 

The American League of 1900 was not a 
major league and did not pretend to be, but 
the A. L. of the following year was and 
boldly announced it was going to be, when 
the National Leaguers were predicting that 
it wouldn't start. It started and went right 
through, getting more than its share of 



f 

10 BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



patronage where there were competing clubs 
and becoming more popular by the innova- 
tions introduced. 

In 1902 the junior leaguers dropped 
Milwaukee from their wheel and substituted 
St. Louis and a year later New York took 
Baltimore's place. In July, 1902, the 
Orioles were wrecked by the National 
Leaguers, but said National Leaguers, own- 
ing the franchise, forgot to protect their 
property rights by placing a team in the 
field and Mr. Johnson, hurrying to the scene, 
had a ball club in action the next day. 
Thus the American League obtained for 
nothing a franchise that National League 
capital had paid for. 

What ended the battle between the 
National and American Leaguers was the 
fact that the Johnsonites accomplished the 
impossible by getting a location for a park 
in New York. Everybody in Gotham and 
in National League circles was positive this 
couldn't be done — but it was done. When 
the senior leaguers discovered this it was 
only a question of getting together and 
straightening out a few differences. 

So from 1903 on the National and Ameri- 
can Leagues worked in harmony. 

Occasionally the two leagues have had 
disagreements and there have been paper 
wars and phantom circuits perpetrated on 
the public, but the differences always have 
been amicably settled. 

Baseball, described by Charles H. Ebbets 
of the Brooklyn club as being in its infancy 
in 1908, began to get noticeably popular and 
profitable a few years later and in the winter 
of 1913 there was an impression that all one 
had to do in order to make a fortune was 
to erect a ball park in a major league city, 
hire some major leaguers and some Class 
AA men, announce the formation of a new 
league — and then sit back and divide the 
profits. 

As a consequence the Federal League was 
formed, Harry Sinclair, the oil king, and 
Robert B. Ward, the Brooklyn baker, being 
its pi'incipal backers. The league func- 
tioned for two years— 1914 and 1915 — lost 
a lot of money for itself and made the major 
leaguers lose a lot of money at the same 
time. Mr. Ward died just as he was thor- 
oughly interested in the game and just as 
he knew how tremendous Avould be the cost 
of establishing a third major league. Mr. 
Sinclair was already to continue the fight 
in 1916, and operate a club himself in New 
York, when Federal Leagn^i's and O. B. got 
together and wiped o^^ existence the 
majors' new rival, the settlement pleasing 



everybody except Baltimore. That club 
sued Organized Baseball over the settle- 
ment, in which it was not taken care of. 

This brings our history down pretty nearly 
to the point where fast work can be done in 
throwing some realistic facts at the fan 
populace. 

— -------."-^^ 

The first of the realistic facts would seem 
to be that in the six major (or near major 
leagues) that have operated from 1876 on 
there have been more than 45,000 champion- 
ship games played, the exact number of those 
decided being 45,419. Later you can find 
out what cities lead in victories, defeats, 
percentage and pennants, but right here that 
information is just carried by leagues, the 
grand total being due later on. 

Here is the record for the National League, 
the American League, the American Asso- 
ciation, the Federal League, the Players' 
League and the Union Association, the 
American League figures starting with 1901, 
when the junior organization claimed rivalry 
with the National League :

REAnSTIc'FACT''N 

Distributing the six tables previously pre- 
sented and putting them on an adding 
machine produces Realistic Fact No. 2 about 
the National Pastime — produces a flock of 



Realistic Facts, in fact. One is that 30 
cities have at various times had teams in the 
major (or near major) leagues, that two 
of these teams won only two games and that 
the teams of one city up to the close of 1921 
have won 5371 games and the teams of 
another city have lost 5047 contests. 

Later in this book the major league career 
of each city is sketched and right now the 
totals for each city are given, the names of 
the cities and the number of leagues (major 
and near major) they were in. No city 
has held membership in all six of the organ- 
izations which have claimed they were the 
salt of the land. Baltimore, Boston, 
Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and St. 
Louis were in five of the six leagues of high 
degree that have operated, Baltimore and 
St, Louis not having been in the Players' 
League, Boston and Philadelphia not having 
been in the Federal League, Chicago not 
having been in the American Association 
and Pittsburgh not having been in the 
American League. 

St. Paul had major league ball only very 
briefly, for its Union Association team 
merely played eight games. 

Against this note the fact that Chicago's 
major league teams have won 5371 games 
and note also that St. Louis' major league 
teams have let 5047 games escape. 

This table carries the victories and defeats 
of the teams of each major league city from 
1876 to 1921, inclusive, being arranged 
alphabetically for the busy reader or the 
quick ' seeker after information :

THE PENNANT WINNERS 

The present life time totals of victories 
and defeats of the clubs of the major league 
cities has already been thrown into type and 
now come the lists of the pennant winners 
and certain information as to them. In 
another section of this book the names of 
the players on the winning clubs are given 
and there also is shown how these clubs 
fared in series for the championship of the 
universe or in series for the one time famed 
Temple Cup. 

Just now the big league teams are com- 
peting for the 82nd and 83rd championships, 
81 having previously been settled. Boston 
clubs have finished in front 17 times, Chicago 
clubs have led the pack on 16 occasions. 
New York has owned 11 pennant winners, 
Philadelphia eight, Brooklyn six, St. Louis 
five, Detroit and Pittsburgh four, Baltimore 
three, Cincinnati and Providence two, 
Cleveland, Indianapolis and Louisville one. 

The following table shows the champion 
teams : 

Natl AL 



Louis and Cincinnati of the National

THE TAiL-ENDERS 

, There have been 82 tail-enders in the 
major leagues, for once, when the returns 
all were in, two clubs, finishing last, had the 
same percentage. Those clubs were St. 



The one major league team to win four 
pennants in a row was St. Louis of the 
American Association, from 1885 to 1888, 
inclusive. The Browns, managed by Charles 
Comiskey, were stopped by Brooklyn. 

Clubs that have won three championships 
in succession were Chicago of the National 
League, twice, 1880-1882 inclusive and 1906- 
1908 inclusive (stopped by Boston and 
Pittsburgh) ; Boston of the National League, 
1891-1893 inclusive (stopped by Baltimore) ; 
Baltimore of the National League, 1894- 
1896 inclusive (stopped by Boston) ; Pitts- 
burgh of the National League, 1901-1903 
inclusive (stopped by New York) ; New 
York of the National League, 1911-1913 in- 
clusive (stopped by Boston), and Detroit of 
the American League, 1907-1909 inclusive 
(stopped by Philadelphia). 

The highest percentage on record for a 
major league flag winner is .850, acquired 
by the St. Louis Maroons, in the Union 
Association, in 1884; the lowest, .566, ob- 
tained by the Chicago Whales, in the Federal 
League, in 1915. 

The greatest number of victories for a 
major league flag winner is 116, Chicago's 
Cubs attaining that mark in the National 
League in 1906. 

This is the list of the major league pen- 
nant winners, their personnel being given 
in the section of this book devoted to the 30 
cities that have been (or are) in fast 
company :

A Brief Outline of the History of Baseball in the Cities 
of the Leading Professional Circuits 

BOSTON 



Population— 748,060. 

Seating capacity of Braves' Field, opened 
in 1915, 45,000; of Fenway Field, opened 
in 1912, 30,000. 

Major league experience — Constantly in 
National and American Leagues, one year 
in Players' League, one year in American 
Association and one year in Union Asso- 
ciation. 

BOSTON holds the record for champion 
teams, for world's champion teams and 
according to many, for fairness and knowl- 
edge of the game among its fan population. 

The Boston National League club started 
the practice, back in 1887, of paying large 
sums of money to other clubs (the other club 
was Chicago) for high grade talent and 
recently H. H. Frazee, owner of the Red 
Sox, has been doing the opposite and in 
consequence is persona non grata with the 
enthusiasts. They fail to remember how 
they praised the old Triumvirate for doing 
just what Frazee isn't doing. 

In Boston they say that the only Boston 
club that never won a world's series was the 
New York American League team of 1921 
and they lay that incident to the fact that 
on the opposing Giant combination was a 
left-hander who won his spurs at the Hub — 
one Arthur Nehf. 

The personal unpopularity of the original 
owners of the Boston National League club 
paved the way for the American League in 
Boston. They had economy reduced to a 
fine science. 

Many wonderful players hav6 made their 
reputations in Boston — and been put up to 
the highest bidder. 

The passing of Babe Ruth did not irri- 
tate the fans so much as the sale of Hooper. 

Record of Boston's major league teams 
to 1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 4925—2998 in National 
League, 1695 in American, 93 in Association, 
81 in Plavers', 58 in Union. 

DEFEATS, 4516—2957 in National 
League, 1418 in American, 51 in Union, 48 
in Players', 42 in Association.

Major league experience — Constantly in 
National and American Leagues, two years 
in Federal League, one year in Players' 
League, part of one year in Union Associa- 
tion. 

CHICAGO has been in every major (or 
near major) league except the American 
Association and the Association once had 
permission, which wasn't granted at all will- 
ingly, to place a team there. The only ball 
club of the Windy City that fell by the way- 
side was the Union Association outfit of 
1884. That moved on to Pittsburgh. 

If there is one city more than another 
that has made baseball, it is Chicago. The 
old White Stockings, managed by Anson, 
started the pastime on the way up, Adrian 
Constantine saw to it that his men stopped 
at the best hotels and that they drove to 
the parks in open faced carriages. Certain 
hostelries barred the able athletes, but never 
those representing Chicago. 

Anson was loyal to the National League 
in its fight with the Brotherhood, but no 
life-time job was ever made for him by the 
club's owner or owners and he quit the 
machine he had built up in 1898. His suc- 
cessful successors were Frank Leroy Chance, 
working under Charles Webb Murphy, and 
Fred L. Mitchell, working under Charles 
Henry Weeghman, the Dough Nut King. 

Charles Comiskey, Chicagoan himself, 
always insisted that there was room in his 
native city for two clubs and in 1900 he 
moved his St. Pauls in there, first against 
the wishes of Jim Hart and then with that 
gentleman's permission. The Old Roman's 
theory turned out to be correct and the new 
White Sox soon had their own clientele and 
at once a pennant. The Chicago Feds also 
won a pennant, but it is doubtful if they 
made any money. They were consolidated 
with the Cubs. 

Chicago's major league record to 1921, 
inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 5371—3390 in National 
League, 1700 in American, 173 in Federal,

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



Population— 401,247. 

Seating capacity of Redland Field, opened 
in 1902, 24,000. 

Major league experience— 37 years in 
National League, nine years in American 
Association, one year in Union Association. 

CINCINNATI, expelled from the National 
/ League once for failure to pay championship 
dues, later was reinstated and later was 
invited back into the parent organization — 
much later. The reason for the invitation 
to come back was that in the meantime the 
Queen City had developed into one of base- 
ball's strongholds. The Reds rejoined the 
National in 1890 and have been in it ever 
since. The year their dues weren't paid 
was 1877. 

I'rom 1882 to 1889, Cincinnati was in the 
American Association — very much in it — 
for during only one of eight years did the 
Reds fail to win more games than they lost, 
and the first year they won the pennant. 
Joining the National, Cincinnati could not 
boast a flag winner until 1919, and then the 
Reds, with Pat Moran driving them, got 
going so fast that they didn't even stop 
when the championship season closed, but 
kept right on and whaled the daylights out 
of the White Sox, possibly getting some aid 
from certain members of the Comiskey- 
dwned troupe, who looked under their 
pillows before retiring, 

Cincinnati, before the National League 
•was dreamed of, was famed for its Red 
Stockings, who won 56 out of 57 games in 
1869 and 1870. During the days of the 
Association it was famed for its ball clubs 
and for its scribes, among the latter being 
Byron Bancroft Johnson, Ren Mulford, Jr., 
and Harry Weldon. These gentlemen could 
recognize a bit of baseball news before it bit 
them. They set a standard for baseball 
writing in Cincinnati that has been kept up 
to by their successors. 

Cincinnati was the spot where Charles 
Webb Murphy broke into the pastime and 
where John Talleyrand Brush got his real 
start in baseball. They gave him the Reds 
for practically nothing and later he was in 
New York. 

Record of Cincinnati's major league teams 
to 1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 3082—2427 in National 
League, 587 in Association, 68 in Union. 

DEFEATS, 3054—2568 in National 
League, 451 in Association, 35 in Union.

ST. LOUIS 



Population— 772,897. 

Seating capacity of Sportsman's Park, 
where both clubs play, 20,600. 

Major league experience — 34 years in 
National League, 20 years in American 
League, 10 years in American Association, 
two years in Federal League, one year in 
Union Association. 

ST. LOUIS still has to win a National 
or American League pennant. In the days 
when Chris Von der Ahe owned the Browns 
and Charles A. Comiskey managed them, the 
Mound City's Association team won four 
championships in succession and previously 
Henry V. Lucas' costly and ill-fated 
Maroons had landed the Union Association 
standard of supremacy. 

Eighteen eighty-eight was the last year 
St. Louis' fans had opportunity to gloat, but 
frequently they have had chances to get 
excited, and did so. In 1908 the Browns, 
managed by Jim McAleer now leading a life 
of luxuriant ease in Youngstown, Ohio, put 
in a strong bid for the championship and 
last year the Clouting Cardinals, directed by 
Branch Rickey, threatened to slug their way 
to the top. Fielder Jones' St. Louis Feds, 
in 1915, almost reached the peak. 

Some managers say that a St. Louis' team, 
in order to win, has to be at least 20 per 
cent, stronger than any of its rivals, because 
of the well-known and torrid Missouri 
climate. 

Comiskey's old Browns became famous 
despite the climate and won the last of 
their flags after having sold a bevy of stars 
to Brooklyn. 

One manager's complaint about St. Louis 
is that it harbors too many critics. At the 
present time it harbors George Harold Sisler, 
one of the greatest pastimers in captivity. 
Criticism doesn't seem to have hurt him. 

Record of St. Louis' major league teams 
to 1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 4263—1936 in National

BROOKLYN 



Population— 2,018,356. 

Seating capacity of Ebbets Field, opened 
in 1913, 30,000. 

Major league experience — 32 years in 
National League, seven years in American 
Association, two years in Federal League, 
one year in Players' League. 

BROOKLYN went from the American 
Association to the National League in 1890 
after having been in the younger organiza- 
tion since 1884. Before that the Superbas, 
who got their present nickname when Ned 
Hanlon became their manager, had been in 
the Inter-State League. Charles Hercules 
Ebbets, their principal owner, has been about 
everything with them, starting as a ticket- 
seller, has even been their manager. 

The last thing Brooklyn did in the Ameri- 
can Association was to win the pennant in 

1889 and the club did the same thing in 

1890 on entering the National League. It 
needed additional strength for 1885 and then 
the best of the Cleveland stars were bought. 
More strength was needed for 1888 and 
Charles H. Byrne one of the early really 
great baseball men, bought for Brooklyn, 
from St. Louis, Dave Foutz, Bob Carruthers 
and Doc Bushong. The pennants of 1889 
and 1890 were the result of the purchases 
from the Browns. 

In 1899 the Brooklyn owners maneuvered 
a deal with Baltimore whereby the two clubs 
were consolidated, or at least jointly owned — 
Brooklyn to get most of the good players and 
Ned Hanlon. Two more pennants were 
annexed, but the last never would have been 
captured if it had not been for Joe McGinnity, 
one of the unknowns the Baltimored Brook- 
lyns had let escape in the spring of 1899. 

Robert B. Ward backed the Federal 
Leaguers in Brooklyn and the team lost a 
raft of money. 

Brooklyn's record in the major leagues to 
1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 2883—2224 in National 
League, 436 in Association, 14'^ in Federal, 
76 in Players'. 

DEFEATS, 3013—2371 in National

Population— 1,823,779. 

Seating capacity of Shibe Park, opened 
in 1909, 22,000. Seating capacity of Phila- 
delphia National Park, opened in 1887, 
18,000. 

Major league experience — 40 years in 
National League (Athletics' year included), 
constantly in American League, 10 years in 
American Association, one year in Players' 
League, part of one year in Union Asso- 
ciation. 

PHILADELPHIA, up to the time the 
glad hand of welcome was extended to the 
American League, had few pennants in its 
trophy room. To be exact, there was one, 
gained by the old Athletics of the old Ameri- 
can Association back in 1883. Fans had the 
impression the owners of the Phils preferred 
to finish second or third. The new organiza- 
tion, warmly welcomed because of the non- 
popularity of one of the Phillies' owners, 
the militant Colonel John I. Rogers, supplied 
the, Quaker City with gonfalons in 1902, 
1905, 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914, and then 
when the Athletics were sold and torn apart 
the National Leaguers surprisied everyone 
by leading the pack of flag aspirants. Since 
1915 the Philadelphia teams evidently 
imagine that eighth place, not first, is the 
desired position. 

The Athletics were in the National League 
at the start and then were thrown out on 
their noble necks for failure to make, the 
second Western trip of 1876. The Phillies 
came into existence in 1883 and into the 
National League, too. A year before that 
the Athletics had joined the newly organized 
American Association. 

Philadelphia spurned Union Association 
ball in 1884, one of the men entangled in this 
disaster being William J. Shettsline, the 
demon fire marshal of Glenolden, Pa., and 
ever since then identified with the Phils. 

Connie Mack reached Philadelphia in 1901 
and until 1915 his Athletics always satisfied 
their clientele. Since then they have disap- 
pointed it. 

Philadelphia's major league record to 1921, 
inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 4997—2731 in National 
League (including 14 by Athletics in 1876),

NEW 

Population— 5,620,048. 

Seating capacity of Polo Grounds, where 
both clubs play (Yankees will have new 
park by 1923 ) —38,000. The Polo Grounds 
were re-opened in 1911 after having been 
destroyed by fire. 

Major league experience — 40 years in 
National League (Mutuals' year included), 
19 years in American League, five years in 
American Association, one year in Players' 
League. 

NEW YORK, like Philadelphia, was one 
of the original members of the National 
Ijeague and its first club, the Mutuals, got 
the same treatment as the Quaker City's 
pioneer big league team — banishment for 
failure to make the second Western trip of 
1876. The Giants — not Giants then- 
got back into the parent organization in 
1883 and at the same time the Metropolitans 
joined the American Association. Whenever 
a Met went weH he joined the Giants and 
whenever a Giant went badly he joined the 
Mets. The Mets won a pennant before the 
John B. Day and Jim Mutrie scheme got 
working perfectly, Tim Keefe, who helped 
win it, becoming a Giant in 1885. Three 
years later the Giants, almost all of them 
big men, won the National League cham- 
pionship and they repeated in 1889. 

Then came the Brotherhood scrap and 
Day and Mutrie lost about all they had 
made in the pastime. The club had a career 
of ups and downs until John T. Brush be- 
came its president and John J. McGraw its 
manager, the little Napoleon going to 
Gotham when Andrew Freedman was its 
principal owner. Ever since 1004 the Giants 
have been on the crest or extremely near there- 
to. They are the best known team in the 
world and that made it hard for the Yankees 
to break in. Not until the two Colonels — 
Ruppert and Huston — acquired Babe Ruth 
for $100,000 plus did the American Leaguers 
begin to do anywhere near the business that 
always has been the Giants' portion. 

New York's record in the major leagues 
to 1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 4885—3127 in National 
League (including 21 by Mutuals in 1876), 



YORK 

1414 in American, 270 in Association, 74 in 
Players,' 

DEFEATS, 4154—2376 in National 
League (including 35 by Mutuals in 1876), 
1412 in American, 309 in Association, 57 in 
Players'.

Population— 588,343. 

Seating capacity of Forbes' Field, opened 
in 1909—24,500. 

Major league experience — 35 years in 
National League, six years in American 
Association, two years in Federal League, 
one year in Players' League, part of one year 
in Union Association. 

PITTSBURGH has been continuously 
among the baseball select since 1882. The 
Smoky City, with a team known as the 
Alleghenys, was in the American Association 
from the start, resigning from that organiza- 
tion to go into the National League at the 
end of the season of 1886. 

The Pirates of 1882, 1883 and 1884 were 
more or less jokes, but became strengthened 
when the star players of the Columbus club 
were bought in 1884, these stars including 
Ned Morris, Fred Carroll, Billy Kuehne 
and Pop Smith. This purchase did not 
supply Pittsburgh with a pennant winner, 
but later another big deal did. 

The deal in question was the consolidation 
of the Pittsburgh and Louisville clubs after 
the 1899 season closed. The Pirates, got 
Fred Clarke, Hans Wagner, Tom Leach, 
Deacon Phillippe and others then, and in 
another year had a pennant. The American 
League helped the Corsairs in their quest 
for first honors, since the Johnsonites took 
most of Ned Hanlon's Brooklyn stars away 
from him. 

The best clubs Pittsburgh had were when 
Clarke was managing them and when Hans 
Wagner was playing for them. The worst 
team representing Dreyfussville was that of 
1890, nine years before Barney went there. 
It was in the National League, sailed under 
the alias of J. Palmer O'Neill's Innocents 
and was so bad that neither at home nor 
abroad would many people turn out to see 
it. Only 114 games did this collection of 
jokes lose and it lost them in a season when 
140, not 154 games, were scheduled. 

Record of Pittsburgh's major league teams 
to 1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 3126—2674 in National 
League, 235 in Association, 150 in Federal, 
60 in Players', 7 in Union.

Population— 796,841. 

Seating capacity of Dunn Field, opened 
in 1910—22,091. 

Major league experience — Constantly in 
American League, 17 years in National 
League, two years in American Association, 
one year in Players' League. 

CLEVELAND had many ups and downs 
in baseball before it became firmly estab- 
lished as one of the strongholds of the pas- 
time, the decision of James C. Dunn, for- 
merly of Marshalltown, Iowa, to put in a 
pile of his own money and all he could 
borrow to buy the Indians in 1916 having 
helped a lot to establish this condition. 

In the National League from 1879 on, the 
Forest City sold its best players to Brooklyn 
of the Association six years later and retired 
to the minors. Two years of Association 
ball, in 1887 and 1888, showed the National 
Leaguers that Cleveland was a valuable spot 
and they induced the Babes to rejoin them. 

Under Oliver P. Tebeau and with Cy 
Young as their war horse, the Babes became 
Indians and then the Robison's, owning them, 
sent them to St. Louis and foisted a joke 
team on the Sixth City. Cleveland was 
dropped from the League at the end of the 
season of 1899 and fell back into slow 
company — into the American League, which 
had just asked for waivers on its old title 
of Western League. By 1901 the American 
League was a major league. That it so 
became was due in part to the capital sup- 
plied by Charles W. Somers, from whom 
James C. Dunn bought the club in 1916. 

Cleveland always was a good baseball 
city and under the Dunn regime it became a 
great one. Tris Speaker, the world's great- 
est outfielder, became an Indian private in 
1916 and the Indian chieftain in 1919. A 
year later he led the Tribe to a pennant and 
to the world's championship. 

The old Indians, of the National League, 
once finished first in a section of a split 
season. Tebeau was their leader and aggres- 
siveness was the keynote of their campaigns. 
Their aggressiveness had so much voltage it 
was termed rowdyism. 

Record of Cleveland's major league teams 
to 1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 2752—1631 in American 
League, 977 in National, 89 in Association, 
55 in Players'. 

DEFEATS, 2807—1497 in American 
League, 1061 in National, 174 in Associa- 
tion, 75 in Players'.

DETROIT became a National League city 
before it really had population enough to 
support a team, and eventually the City of 
Straits had to drop out of the parent organ- 
ization and into slower company. When the 
old Western League was reorganized, in 
1894, Detroit got back on the baseball map 
and it has been a most important spot on it 
ever since. The city has four champion- 
ships and one world's title to show for its 
activities in fast company. 

William H. Watkins' National League 
team of 1887 cleaned up the St. Louis 
Browns in the world's series, but the Hugh 
Jennings managed American League clubs 
of 1907. 1908 and 1909 never could win the 
blue ribbon event. 

In its National League days, Detroit was 
famed for its hitters, particularly after the 
Big Four of Richardson, White, Rowe and 
Brouthers were bought from Buffalo (the 
entire Bison outfit was bought to get these 
men), and in its American League career 
the city was first noted for the scrappy teams 
it had and later for Tyrus Raymond Cobb. 

A new era in baseball dawned for Detroit 
when the Georgia Peach got really going,' 
which was in 1907, under the handling and 
encouragement of Hugh Jennings. Jennings' 
most famous predecessor as manager of the 
Tigers was George Stallings. The National 
League nickname of the Detroits was 
Wolverines. 

Record of Detroit's major league teams to 
1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 2031—1605 in American 
League, 426 in National. 

DEFEATS, 1948—1511 in American

WASHINGTON 



Population^87,571. 

Seating capacity of American League 
Park— 15,300. 

Major league experience — Constantly in 
American League, 12 years (not consecu- 
tive) in National League, two years (not 
consecutive) in American Association, one 
year in Union Association. 

WASHINGTON still has to float its first 
major league pennant. The National League 
gonfalon never was seriously menaced, but 
twice have the Senators, or the Nationals, 
as they call them now, made a noise like 
flag winners in the American. 

The remark of Charles Dryden's about 
Washington being "First in war, first in 
peace and last in the American League," 
had force and truth to it until Clark 
Griffith's loyalty to the American League 
was rewarded by his being permitted to buy 
stock in the club. That was in 1912. That 
year and the next the Senators (Nationals, 
rather) finished second. They haven't been 
so high since and they never got nearly that 
high in the National. In the Association' 
once they didn't finish (that was when the 
Unions drove them to Richmond on the run) 
and once they finished last. 

Washington's baseball history has mainly 
to do with Walter Johnson. He has been 
pitching for that city's teams since 1907 
and everybody has wanted to see him operate 
in a world's series. It is doubtful if he 
ever will. The Idaho Phenom had to wait 



until 1920 to pitch his first no-hit game. 
Without him baseball in Washington would 
not have flourished as it has. 

Washington's most popular pitcher before 
Johnson was Jimmy McJames, a handsome 
Carolinian. He was sold for a song. Sell- 
ing players for a song was what soured the 
fans on the men who ran National League 
teams there— the Wagners of, Philadelphia. 

Record of Washington's major league 
teams to 1921, inclusive : 

VICTORIES, 2058—1383 in American 
League, 572 in National, 56 in Association, 
47 in Union. 

DEFEATS, 2966—1727 in American 
League, 1032 in National, 141 in Associa- 
tion, 66 in Union.

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



BALTIMORE 



BALTIMORE (population 788,826), now 
in the International League, firmly believes 
it belongs in fast company. Barring a brief 
time spent in the Atlantic Association in 
1890, the city was always in the American 
Association; it had a team in the National 
League when that organization had a 12- 
club circuit ; it was a Federal League strong- 
hold, so much so that John Dunn had to 
move his International League team to 
Richmond ; it supported American League 
ball well for two years and it went through 
the LTnion Association season successfully. 

Still no place can be found in the majors 
for Babe Ruth's home town and the fans 
of that city, in consequence, have no use for 
the big fellows and foam at the mouth 
whenever the draft is talked of. 

Baltimore, under Ned Hanlon, won three 
National League pennants in succession in 
the middle nineties, then finished twice in 
succession and then most of the stars were 
sold to Brooklyn and consolidated with that 
club. John McGraw and Wilbert Robinson 
were left and the Little Napoleon promptly 
proceeded to develop a club that made trouble 
for everyone. 

When the National League and the 
American League split in 1901. McGraw 
and Robinson got the Baltimore franchise. 
McGraw had trouble with B. B. Johnson, 
left the junior league and finally most of the 
stars jumped. John T. Brush, acting for 
the National, pulled a coup and a bone at 
the same time in getting the franchise and 
then failing to operate it. 

Baltimore's record in the majors : 

VICTORIES. 1436— National 642, Asso- 
ciation 489, Federal 181, American 118, 
Union 56. 

DEFEATS. 1423— Association 602, - Na-

BUFFALO 



BUFFALO (population 506,775), now in 
the International League, had three flings 
at big league ball. Each was costly for the 
men who footed the bills. The Bisons were 
in the National for seven years, dropping 
out at. the end of the 1885 season, when 
Detroit purchased the Big Four — Richard- 
son, White, Rowe and Brouthers. Buffalo 
was in the Players' League the one year of 
its existence and that club, with Connie 
Mack as one of its catchers and stockholders, 
lost money and drove the rival International 
League club to Montreal and then to Bay 
City. The Federal League, operating for 
two years in Buffalo, made no money, but 
did bankrupt the rival Ints. No Buffalo 
major league team ever got higher than third. 
The record of the city's fast set teams : 

VICTORIES, 502—312 in National 
League, 154 in Federal, 36 in Players'. 

DEFEATS, 578—333 in National League,

INDIANAPOLIS 



INDIANAPOLIS (population 314,194), 
now in the American Association, was in the , 
National League a couple of times, in the 
old Association for one year and in the 
Federal League for one year. The Feds of 
1914 were the only collection of athletes 
Hoosier fans could be proud of, but their 
pride profited them little, as the next season 
Roush, Kauff & Co. had been moved East- 
ward. The cellar, or distinctly near it, was 
the reposing place of most of Indianapolis' 
major league clubs. Frank Flint, great 
catcher, was a graduate of an Indianapolis 
club, so was Amos Rusie, wonderful pitcher. 
Benny Kauff and Ed Roush got their chances 
to deliver in Indianapolis while the Feds 
were presenting the pastime to the objection 
and horror of O. B. — and delivered.

KANSAS CITY (population 324,410),

minor league teams. The Federals of 1915 
alone finished in the first division and stand 
alone of the six Cowboy teams of supposed 
major league calibre in having won more

LOUISVILLE 



LOUISVILLE (population 234,891), 
now in the American Association, was rele- 
gated to slow company when the National 
League reduced its circuit from twelve to 
eight clubs at the end of the season of 1899. 
Thus did Barney Dreyfuss acquire the 
Pirates and the Pirates acquired John Peter 
Wagner, better known as Honus Wagner, 
The Falls City was constantly in the old 
American Association and put in 10 years in 
the National, too. Some Colonels of the 
early days were like certain White Socks 
of 1919 — guilty of throwing games. Early 
in its big league career Louisville had a 
wonderful batting pitcher in Hecker and 
before Sir Guy lost either his clouting or 
curving ability another top-notcher joined 
them in the person of Thomas Ramsey, emi- 
nent strike-out king. However, neither 
Hecker nor Ramsey could pitch the Colonels 
to a pennant, but they got one in 1890. 
Louisville's major league teams won 1054 
and lost 1374 games for an average of .434. 
Their record : 

VICTORIES, 1054—577 in American 
Association, 477 in National League.

ST. PAUL (population 234,698), now in

game career in the Union Association in 
1884, joining that outlaw organization after 
the Northwestern League season closed. Of 
the eight games played by the Apostles two 
were won and six lost for a percentage of 
.250. Charles Ganzel, catcher, and Joseph 
Werrick, shortstop, were the best known

PART III 



Baseball's Leaders 

WHEN the fan mentions baseball's 
leaders be doesn't speak of Judge 
Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Byron 
Bancroft Johnson, John Arnold Heydler 
or John Conway Toole, but he does 
speak of the able athletes who are at the top 
in hitting and other things and who have 
been the pace setters. One feature put out 
by an able dopester, "The Five Leading 
Hitters of the Big Leagues," appears prob- 
ably in over one thousand papers each day 
of the playing season and the rabid fan of 
any small hamlet generally is as promptly 
informed as to the men who are setting the 
pace in swatting in the majors as the 
rabid fan of places of immensely greater 
population. 

Most of the title holders of baseball are 
known by the record keepers, but there are 
still certain gaps in the archives to be 
pieced out, for the public prints, in the 
early days of the game, did not give it the 
prominence it now commands and the men 
who made out the averages were not as 
thorough in their work as they now are. 
Even if some of them did turn out com- 
plete sets of averages, these averages were 
quite likely to be edited almost to the 
vanishing point by those whose job it was 
to preserve the figures for posterity. 

Gallant work on the part of certain 
archaeologists in the last 15 years has 
brought to light a mass of valuable infor- 
mation, but much more still remains to be 
turned up before the statistical side of the 
game can be deemed near perfect. 

Now one knows positively the batting 
leaders for all time in the major leagues, 
the men who have annually made the most 
sacrifices, and the men who have stolen the 
most bases annually, but that is all one 
does know positively. 

With the data at their command the 
record keepers have been able to establish 
certain marks for the able athletes to keep 
shooting at, but only in a few isolated in- 
stances are the records complete. 

One record that is complete is that of 
the leading hitters of the major leagues, 
for the compiling of averages dates as far 
back as 1865. 
■ On Page 247 of Balldom, George Leonard 
Moreland says that prior to 1879 there was 
no record of how many hits a batter made 
in the National League. "All that can be 
found is the batting average for the first 
three seasons. * * * 1881 



and Title Holders 

when players were credited with having 
scored a run. Not until 1886 is any credit 
given for stealing a base. It was three 
years later when sacrifice hits were credited." 

Mr. Moreland was right in his remarks 
about steals and sacrifices, but wrong in his 
comments as to hits and runs. 

The National League averages of 1878 did 
carry the runs and hits and it is possible 
that this information was carried in the two 
earlier years as well — and eliminated from 
the guides by that demon eliminator — Henry 
Chadwick. 

Mr. Chadwick edited the National League 
averages so thoroughly several years that 
now, when National League headquarters 
is asked for certain early data said queries 
have to be passed on to others to be 
answered. 

However, all the batting leaders of the 
major leagues are known, though all author- 
ities do not agree as to their identity. Pit- 
chers have led the National League in 
hitting, but historians pass them up when 
writing on this subject and award the 
place of honor to a regular. 

The World Almanac names Zach Wheat 
of Brooklyn as the leading hitter of the 
National League in 1918 and yet William 
H. Southworth of Pittsburgh that year had 
an average six points higher than the 
Superba, playing in 64 games to his 105. 

For the American League season of ten 
years earlier the World Almanac makes 
Dode Criss of St. Louis the Mauling Mon- 
arch in preference to Tyrus Raymond Cobb. 
Criss was in 64 games, Cobb in 150, and in 
a majority of the games Criss was in, he 
was merely a pinch-hitter. 

And around that time, unless the writer 
is mistaken, the National League didn't 
count a man as being in a game unless he 
was in it as a defensive participant as well 
as an offensive performer. 

Any 12 men, making up lists of the lead- 
ing hitters of the major leagues for all time 
from the baseball guides, will make up 12 
different lists. -^^

James F. O'Neill of the St. Louis Browns

LEADING ROBBERS ALL 
IDENTIFIED, TOO. 

The major league master robbers can 
all be identified, too, stolen bases having 
been introduced into the summaries of the 
box scores and into the averages during the 
season of 1886. The rules as to thefts 
have been changed from time to time, and 
when the scorers first began to record stolen 
bases some of them didn't just know how. 
Players used to get a stolen base when they 
took two bases on an infield out and they 
used to get a stolen base when they scored 
from third on a fly ball. They used to get 
steals when they were retired after having 
overslid the bag they set out for, and they 
used to get steals when one section of a 
double pilfering expedition met disaster. 

Also, until 1920, a notable athlete, with 
his team miles in the rear, could skip round 
the circuit in the ninth, or a late inning and, 
though unmolested, receive credit for a group 
of stolen sacks. 

Tighter scoring rules have changed things 
in stolen bases so that no longer do any 
huge records crop up. The last bid for a cen- 



tury performance was Cobb's, in 1915, the 
Peach that year outwitting the backstops 
96 times. - 

Harry D. Stovey, outfielder and first base- 
man, holds the major league record for steals 
in one season with 156. This number of 
bags Stovey, who hailed from New Bedford, 
Mass., and who played with Worcester in 
the National League before going to the 
Athletics, filched in 1888. The year before 
Stovey perpetrated 143 robberies, but some 
of them would not have been O. K.'d by the 
scorers of the present day. Stovey was a 
great big fellow, fleet of foot and a quick 
thinker. 

Another flyer produced in the National 
League's first real rival was William R. 
Hamilton. He displaced Stovey as the 
Association's Ty Cobb in 1889, and then 
going into the National led the base stealers 
of that organization the next two years, 
his 1891 performance on the paths being the 
banner one for the senior organization. 
Some information on Hamilton is contained 
later in certain matter relative to the demon 
run makers of the fast set, and Stovey's 
name will be found associated with the base- 
ball war of 1891. 

Ty Cobb's name appears six times in the 



48 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



list of leading base runners and so does Max 
Carey's. Hans Wagner's is in evidence five 
times. George Moriarty's isn't in evidence 
at all, but tbe present American League um- 



plate oftener than any other man who ever 
was in the junior organization. 

These are the leading base stealers of the 
major leagues from 1886 on, the list of the 



pire probably beat his way from third to the champion flyers being complete.

SACRIFICERS ALSO ALL KNOWN 

The leading sacrificers of the major 
leagues are known, too, and all that the fans 
don't find out now about the suicides are how 
many are of the land type and how many 
of the air variety. The sacrifice fly was in- 
troduced into the code in 1908, William J. 
Murray, then manager of the Phillies and 
now a Pirate scout, urging its adoption so 
that batters who scored men from third on 
fly balls could get proper credit in the aver- 
ages. For a time the sacrifice flies and the 
sacrifice bunts were reported separately in the 
summaries, but they never were distributed 
in the averages and now it is hard to tell 
from the records whether the leader is a 
good hunter or whether he has the faculty of 
being able to bring a man home on a 
long fly. 

A Harding Richardson, better known to 
the fans of his time as Hardy Richardson, 
living somewhere in New York State now, 
holds the ancient record for sacrificing, with 
68 hits, said record having been made as a 



member of the Boston American Associa- 
tion team in 1891. 

Ray Chapman, killed by a ball pitched by 
Carl Mays in 1920, set the modern record 
three years before that disaster with 67. The 
Cleveland shortstop, in 1917, was sacrifice 
bunting more than sacrifice flying and his 
immediate predecessor in the Indian line- 
up — John Gladstone Graney — was opening 
about every game by getting on, being par- 
tially responsible for Chappy's great record 
in suicides. 

Kid Gleason, White Sox manager now, 
was an able sacrificer and so was Franz 
Otto Knabe, an associate of the Kid's on 
the Philadelphia National League team 
when it was managed by the inventor of the 
sacrifice fly rule and now the leader of the 
Kansas City American Association team. 

Knabe, who pronounces his name entirely 
different from the way the Baltimore piano 
makers do, led the tap brigade four years. 
His name appears more frequently in the 
list below than anyone else's, this list 
being complete :

LISTS THAT ARE INCOMPLETE 

Now one starts to strike lists of leaders 
that are incomplete, all those printed here- 
after in this section being shy certain data 
that may be turned up in years to come. 
The omissions are noted at the top of 
each list. 

TOURED CIRCUIT 196 TIMES 



William R. Hamilton of Clinton. Mass.. 
an outfielder who got his first chance in 
fast company with Kansas City of the 
American Association, is at present the 
record holder for runs scored in one season 
with 196. H^ got this total of tallies in 

LEADING RUN SCORERS OF MAJOR LEAGUES 



1894. when he was with the hard hitting 
Phillies of the National League and just 
after the pitcher had been set back. 

Babe Ruth's 177 markers in 1921 is the 
nearest approach to the Hamilton per- 
formance. 

George Joseph Bums, now with Cincinnati, 
and Tyrus Raymond Cobb, still with 
Detroit, have each led their leagues five 
years in scoring. 

Hamilton was a leader four years. 
Babe Ruth. Michael J. Kelly and Edward 
Ti-owbridge Collins each have been the best 
scorers in three campaigns. 

The run figures so far as available, from 
1S76 to 1921. inclusive, and a hint as to the 
years in which the dope is missing :

MODERN PLAYER RELEASED MOST 
BASE HITS 

A modern player — -George Harold Sisler, 
of the St. Louis Browns — holds the record 
for releasing the most base hits in one year, 
said record being 257 and having been made 
in 1920. H. Dennis Lyons, a heavy weight 
third baseman and a star in the old 
American Association, got credit for obtain- 



ing 284 blows in 1887 as a member of the 
Athletics, but in 1887 passes were included 
with legitimate hits and Denny didn't 
acquire as many wallops as Michigan's best 
known graduate. 

Tyrus Raymond Cobb has been the pace 
setter in the American League in safeties in 
eight seasons, the list of nearly all the major 
league's leading manufacturers of base hits 
being given below :

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



Wilson and Abies is Joseph B. B. Benes, 
now second basing for the Newark Inter- 
nationals. The smallest hands possessed by 
a big league athlete were those belonging to 
J. Bentley Seymour, and it was because he 
had small hands that the left-hander had 
to desert the box for the suburbs, he being 
unable to control the ball. 

When Wilson was having his great year 
in triples in 1912 there were some parties 
who thought that he would have to make 48 
in order to establish a major league record, 
for the Reach Guide for 1903 gave Lajoie 
43 through a typographical error. This 
fact is mentioned again should anyone 
question Wilson owning the record for 
triples. 

Wilson when he was setting the major 
league mark for triples, made seven against 



Chicago and Cincinnati, six against Boston, 
five against S.t. Louis (he finished his major 
league career with the Cardinals), and New 
York, and three against Philadelphia and 
Brooklyn. The only high grade hurler who 
was. not touched for a three bagger by the 
Chief, as J. Owen was called, was George 
Napoleon Rucker of Bi-ookiyn. 

The list of the leading triplers of the 
major leagues, Sam Crawford's name being 
in it six times, Ty Cobb's four, Joe Jackson's 
three, Hans Wagner's three, Jimmy 
Williams's three and Elmer Flick's three. 
Michael F. Mitchell's name is in the list 
twice, but it would have been in of tener 
than that if Sir Michael had not been com- 
pelled to play the blinding sun field in 
Cincinnati, said field reported to be the worst 
of its kind in the world. The dope :

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA

WILL RUTH KEEP HIS LAURELS? 

One of the questions that will be answered 
by October, 1922, will be as to whether or 
not George Herman .Ruth will be able to 
keep his title of the Home Run King. The 
Babe violated baseball law, last fall, in going 
on a barnstorming trip after having played 
in the World's Series and a decision of 
Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis's kept 
him on the side lines this year until 
May 20th. 

While he was idle, Kenneth Roy (or Ray) 
Williams, outfielder of the St. Louis 
Browns, took it on himself to start a gen- 
eral survival of the fittest at the expense of 
the pitchers, and by the time Ruth was 
eligible to play again the young man from 
Grants Pass, Oregon, had emitted 11 circuit 
blows. These 11 homers were merely inci- 
dental, according to Kenneth^ who told Burt 
Whitman of the Boston Herald that he 
hadn't set any goal for four-baggers and that 
he was out there to hit the ball in order to 
help the club to win. 

Ruth, to May 20, 1921, made a dozen belt 
line blows and during the year made 59, 
breaking his 1920 record by five. In 1919 
George Herman sent into the Never Never 



Land, Edward N. Williamson's 1884 record 
of 27 homers, raising the major league figure 
to 29 and then doubling it inside of 
two years. 

There was much hullabaloo among the 
dopesters as to who discovered that 
Williamson had made 27 home runs 38 
years ago, the fact having been mentioned 
quite frequently, previously, and having been 
forgotten. Whenever Father Chadwick 
wrote on the subject of home runs^ which 
variety of hits he detested, he called atten- 
tion to the great number of homers made 
by the Ansonites in 1884 and to their posi- 
tion in the race, which was fourth. 

Nobody discovered Williamson's 1884 
record, it merely had been forgotten by 
those whose business it was to remember it. 

As for Ruth's 1921 home run record, that 
is printed in nearly every baseball publica- 
tion and will not be reprinted here, for this 
fall there may be a new one to spread before 
the populace. 

This is a list of the home run kings of 
the major leagues, not complete, but fairly 
so. In the list the name that most fre- 
quently appears is not Ruth's, but 
Cravath's. C. C.'s cognomen crops up half 
a dozen times. The dope :

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 

PART IV 

Famous Games — Famous Flayers 
Famous Feats 



REMARKABLE THAT SO MUCH 
IS KNOWN 

IN many ways it is remarkable that so 
much is known about Baseball, for the 
National Pastime never has had any 
store house for its information or for its 
records and it doesn't seem likely that it 
ever will have. The most enthusiastic 
collectors of dope get discouraged sometimes 
and give up, and what they have gathered 
together goes into the discard. 

Earlier in this book it was shown that 
there had been over 45,000 games played in 
the major leagues, or in the near major 
leagues. 

Does anyone kr^ow everything unique 
about these games? 
Positively, NO, 

Some people know something about some 
of them. 

No one knows something about all of 
them. 

There isn't in existence a complete roster 
of the major league players for all time, 
unless some sterling collector is hiding under 
a bushel. 

"When something sensational is done in a 
major league game, a quick way to find out 
if it has been done before is to consult the 
guides or handbooks and then all the previ- 
ous instances of the feat may not be in the 
authorities searched. 

The time probably will never come when 
everything will be known about baseball as 
it has been exemplified in the major leagues 
and the time certainly never will come when 
everything that has happened in the minor 
leagues will be catalogued and ready for the 
seeker after information. 



SURE ABOUT HOME RUNS 

The historians feel that they have the 
absolute low down on the number of major 
leaguers who have made four home runs in 
one game, there having been two such 
men — Robert Lincoln Lowe of Boston and 
Edward J. Delahanty of Philadelphia. Boih 
were National Leaguers. Lowe made his 
four homers at home, Delahanty away from 
home. 

The Bean Eater faced Elton Chamberlain 
of Cincinnati and the Quaker batted against 



William H. (Adonis) Terry of Chicago. 
Each man made a single at the same time. 
Lowe batted six times, Delahanty five times, 
Lowe's homers being in succession and two 
of them coming in one inning — the third. 
The first time Lowe batted against 
Chamberlain he failed to hit safely. 

The game in which Lowe made his four 
homers was played on the former Brother- 
hood grounds in Boston, the National League 
park having been visited by fire earlier in 
the playing season. 

And the game in which Delahanty made 
his four four-baggers his team lost on the 
basis of 9 to 8. 

All of Delahanty's home runs were inside 
the park ; all of Lowe's hits for the full dis- 
tance went over the fences. These are the 
box scores of the two games :

GEORGE KELLY ONCE MADE 
FOUR HOMERS 

George Lange Kelly, nephew of the 
famous Bill Lange and first baseman of the 
New York Giants, made four home runs and 
a double in one game before he became per- 
manently connected with the McGraw 
forces. That game was played at Reading, 
Pa., on June 24, 1919, between the 
Rochester and Reading International League 
clubs. Kelly was with Rochester then and 
this is how the Rochester club happened to 
procure him. 

Kelly had been with the Giants in 1916 
and 1917 and hadn't shown much. Loaned 
to the Pirates, they returned him with 
thanks. Arthur Irwin was managing 
Rochester and the owner of that club was 
not keenly anxious to spend very much money 
for talent or even for railroad fare. He 
agreed, however, to pay Kelly's railroad 
fare from California to the training camp if 



he made good and in the meantime Irwin 
had to advance the railroad fare. Kelly 
made good and Irwin got the cash he had 
advanced for transportation back and • 
Rochester got something like $7,000 from 
New York for a player it once had owned 
and had given away. 

Kelly got four home runs, all in succession, 
struck out and doubled once in six times 
at bat off Dean Barnhardt of Reading — a 
pitcher who has a submarine^ ball. The 
inning in which Kelly fanned was the eighth 
and Barnhardt, on instructions of John 
Hummel, then used slow balls on him. In 
the ninth Dean used his fast delivery again 
and Kelly doubled off one of the submarine 
artist's speedy serves. 

Rochester won the game, 19 to 0, this 
being the score of said game :

AN EARLIER INTERNATIONAL HERO 

Long before Bill Lange's nephew made 
four home runs and a double in one game, 
an International League player had done the 
same thing. Thi-s player was William 
Bottenus, outfielder, of Buffalo. He collected 
four home runs and one double off Campfield 
of Wilkes-Barre in a seven-inning game at 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



61 



Buffalo on May 12, 1895, the International 
League then being called the Eastern 
League and having a Class A rating. 

Bottenus batted five times in this game 
and scored four runs. The Bisons won the 
fray, IS to 13. The only player involved in 
it still prominent in baseball is William J. 
Clymer, v^ho started the present season as 
manager of the Nev^ark International 
League club. Clymer went hitless. 

Bottenus hit like a fiend in the minor 
leagues, but for some reason never was 
promoted. 

ANOTHER FOUR HOMER MAN 

Still another member of the I Made Four 
Homers in One Game Club was Charles 
John Crooks, an infielder who played in the 
American Association and National League 
in the late eighties and the early nineties. 
Crooks, called Jack when he played in the 
majors, emitted four home runs and one 
single for the Omaha Western Association 
club in a game played against St. Paul, 
Willie Mains pitching, at St. Paul on June 
8, 1889. 

The striking thing about Crook's perfor- 
mance, and one not noted previously when 
said performance was commented on, was 
that the day he made four home runs he 
batted in 13 tallies. That is two more than 
the major league record, held by Wilbert 
Robinson. 

Frank Selee, later at the head of the 
Boston and Chicago National League clubs 
managed Omaha the year Crooks slashed out 
four homers (and one single) in one game, 
and in the game in question the pitching was 
done by William H. Clark and Charles A, 
Nichols. Old-time fans will speak of them 
as Dad and Kid. Clark holds the Inter- 
national League record for consecutive vic- 
tories with -John Mahlon Ogden of Ogden, 
Pa., in the winter time and of Baltimore, 
Md., in the summer time.

WILLIAMS WAS NUMBER 11 

When the major league seasons of 1922 
started, ten players stood credited with the 
feat of having made three home runs in one 
game, Kenneth Williams of the St. Louis 
Browns raising the number of these ath- 
letes to 11 soon after the campaigns got 
under way. Baseball's expert accountants 
feel pretty sure that from 1876 to 1921, 
inclusive, they have all the individuals of 
the fast set who did what Mr. Williams 
did. Of the ten men nine were National 
Leaguers, one was employed in the American 
Association. The list printed in The Little 
Red Book is all right except that 1886 is 
given as the year in which Roger Connor 
made his three home runs in one game, 
when the year happened to be 1888. Com- 
piler White probably will have this error 
corrected in the next issue of the child of 
his brain. 

These were the ten major leaguers who 
made three home runs in one game previous 
to 1922 and certain accurate information as 
to the contests in question : 

THE EARLIER WILLIAMSES. 

EDWARD N. WILLIAMSON. Chicago 
Nationals, against Detroit at Chicago. May 
30 (p.m.). 1884— Williamson batted four 
times and made four runs and four hits. 
The other blow obtained by the man whose 
record Ruth smashed in 1919 was a double. 
The Detroit pitchers were George Weidman 
and Frank W. Meinke. Chicago winning 
the game by a score of 12 to 2. Williamson 
caught this game for the White Sox, and an 
account of the combat credits him with 
handling Fred Goldsmith without a flaw.

ADRIAN CONSTANTINE ANSON, 
Chicago Nationals, against Cleveland at 
Chicago, August 6, 1884 — Anson batted five 
times, his home runs being in succession. 
Cleveland pitcher, Moffatt ; score of game, 
13 to 4 in favor of Chicago. The previous 
day, against the same club and on the same 
grounds, Anson made two home runs off 
James McCormick, making a total of five 
circuit drives in two successive games — a 
red letter performance for the majors. 

JOHN E. MANNING, Philadelphia 
Nationals, against Chicago at Chicago, 
October 9, 1884 — Manning right fielder and 
lead-off man for the Quakers, batted five 
times. Not known whether or not his cir- 
cuit drives were in succession. Chicago 
pitcher, John G. Clarkson ; score of game, 
19 to 7 in favor of Chicago. 

GUY HECKER, Louisville American 
Association, against Baltimore at Louisville, 
August 15, (p.m.), 1886 — Hecker, pitching, 
batted seven times and made six hits, his 
other safeties being two doubles and one 
single, according to one s^ore, and three 
singles, according to another. Louisville 
won this game, 22 to 5, the Orioles' battery 
being Richard Conway and William Conway. 
The pitcher who lost this game now is a 
resident of Lowell, Mass., and the score of 
this game and certain other information per- 
taining to it is given later. 

DENNIS L. BROUTHERS, Detroit 
Nationals, against Chicago at Chicago, 
September 10, 1886 — Brouthers batted five 
times and scored four runs, making a single 
and a double in addition to his three drives 
for the full distance. Chicago pitcher, James 
McCormick, who that year won 16 games in 
succession. Score of this game, 14 to 8 in 
favor of Chicago. 

ROGER CONNOR, New York Nationals, 
against Indianapolis at Indianapolis, May 
9, 1888 — Connor batted five times, scored 
three runs and had a single in addition to his 
three homers. The Hoosier pitchers were 
Egyptian John Healy and John McGeachy, 
the latter deserting his post in right to re- 
lieve Healy, who had a lame arm. Score 
of this game, 18 to 4 in favor of New York. 
It is carried in The Little Red Book as 
having been played in 1886, but Indiana- 
polis was not in the National League then. 

W. FRANK SHUGART, St. Louis 
Nationals, against Cincinnati at Cincinnati, 
May 10, 1894 — Shugart batted five times, 
scored three runs and had a single in addi- 
tion to his three homers. Cincinnati pit- 
cher, Thomas TV. Parrott ; score of game, 18 
to 9 in favor of Cincinnati. One of 
Shugart's home runs was made in the sixth 
inning and was followed by hits of the same 



kind from the bats of George (Doggy) 
Miller and Heinle Peitz. Shugart was a 
shortstop, but he covered centre in this game. 

WILLIAM JOYCE, Washington Na- 
tionals, against Louisville at Washington, 
August 20, 1894 — Joyce batted five times, 
scored four runs and had a single in addi- 
tion to his three homers, the four hits being 
made on his first four trips to the plate. 
The Senators needed the able bludgeoning of 
Scroppy Bill in this combat, for they fielded 
poorly in the seventh and the Colonels al- 
most tied the score, which, at the end, was 
8 to 7 in favor of Washington. Louisville 
pitcher in this game. Phil Knell. 

THOMAS L. McCREERY, Louisville, 
Nationals, against Philadelphia at Louisville, 
July 12, 1897 — McCreery, who had been in 
a batting slump, made four trips to the plate 
and scored three runs. Philadelphia pitcher, 
John B. Taylor, (Jack Taylor, I) ; score 
of game, 10 to 7 in favor of Louisville. The 
Colonels had two Clarkes in their line- 
up — Frederick C, later Louisville and Pitts- 
burgh manager, and William Winfield, who 
began the season of 1922 as manager of the 
Norfolk Virginia League club. In this 
game Edward J. Delahanty of the Phillies 
started a hitting streak that placed his name 
among the immortals. 

.JACOB C. BECKLEY, Cincinnati 
Nationals, against St. Louis, at St. Louis, 
September 26. 1897— Beckley batted five 
times against Wee Willie Sudhofif and scored 
three runs, the Reds winning this game by 
a score of 10 to 4. The Ohioans' pitcher 
was John Francis Dwyer, now a member of 
the Boxing Commission of New York. 
Dwyer was always alluded to as Frank 
Dwyer by the baseball writers and the guide 
books carried his name as Frank J. Dwyer, 
but John Francis Dwyer is correct. 

WILLIAMS ONCE OBLIGED 
WITH THREE 

Before passing on to the subject of the 
major leaguers who have made two home 
runs in one game (and disposing of that sub- 
ject isn't going to take long), it seems per- 
tinent to remark here that Kenneth 
Williams, who made three home runs in one 
major league game this year, had done the 
same thing before he started drawing salary 
from Philip DeCatesby Ball of the St. 
Louis American League club. 

The date when Williams first inserted 
three home runs into one and the same con- 
flict was June 3, 1917, at Portland, Ore., in 
a Pacific Coast League game between Port- 
land and Vernon, Williams' team winning, 
4 to 3, in 14 innings, entirely through his 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA

work with the willow. John Walter Mails, 
now with Cleveland, worked in this game 
against A. Roy Mitchell, who saw service 
in the American League with St. Louis 
and Chicago and in the National League 
with Cincinnati. This was Williams' record 
in this game : 

Second inning — Made home run with man 
on base, tying score. 

Ninth inning — Made home run. 

Eleventh inning — Doubled, but failed to 
score. 

Fourteenth inning — Made home run, win- 
ning game, 

Williams, on his other two trips to the 
plate, failed to hit safely. 

A RAFT OF THEM 

Once upon a time a gentleman whose busi- 
ness it is to compile a baseball guide con- 
ceived the bright idea of publishing in said 
guide a list of the major leaguers who had 
made two home runs in one game. He 
didn't have this information himself and 
went to another person for it. This person 
tried to side-step the request and told the 
demon compiler the list would be a terribly 
large one and that it would take a terribly 
long time to get it up and that when it was 
gotten up it wouldn't be complete. He spoke 
with authority on the subject and spoke with 
bitterness, but his words had no effect on 
the demon compiler, who told him to get 
busy and assemble the data. 

For the next two weeks the demon com- 
piler was receiving the information he asked 
for and when he had it all he decided that 
with the cost of white paper where it is and 
with the number of pages at his command it 
would be impossible to print this list, and 
as said before the list was incomplete. 

Nobody knows how many players have 
made two home runs in major league games, 
but probably the player who has turned the 
trick oftenest is George Herman Ruth. 

It is not at all certain that the record 
keepers have all the major leaguers who 
have made two home runs in one inning. 

Robert Lincoln Lowe did this on May 30, 
1894, for Boston against Cincinnati, and the 
score is printed elsewhere in this book. 

Charles Jones of the Boston Nationals 
turned the trick on June 10, 1880, against 
BufEalo in the eighth inning and the score 
isn't going to be printed in this book, for 
the writer doesn't happen to have it. Possi- 
bly Charles W. Mears of Cleveland, Ohio, 
who bought the Will Rankin collection, has 
it and, if he has, it will see the light of day 
sometime. 



ANOTHER ERROR FOR THE L. R. B. 

Another error for The Little Red Book 
is not including in the list of major leaguers 
who have made two home runs in one 
inning the name of Edward (Jumbo) Cart- 
wright, first baseman of the St, Louis 
American Association team of 1890. Mr. 
White has Cartwright down as having the 
major league record for batting in runs in 
one inning on Page 44, but his name also 
belongs on Page 43, along with the monakers 
of Robert Lincoln Lowe, Charles Jones and 
Louis Bierbauer. 

This is supposed to be a complete list 
of the major leaguers who have made two 
home runs in one inning : 

CHARLES JONES, Boston Nationals, 
against Buffalo, at Boston, June 10, 1880 — 
eighth inning. Score not printed in this 
book and information on feat vague. 

LOUIS BIERBAUER, Brooklyn Players', 
against Buffalo, at Brooklyn, July 12, 1890 
— third inning. Score of this game printed 
in this book, for game happened to contain 
more runs than any other major league 
contest. 

EDWARD CARTWRIGHT, St. Louis 
American Association, against Philadelphia, 
at St. Louis, September 23, 1890— third 
inning. Score of this game printed in this 
book, for Cartwright seems to have been 
the only major leaguer who ever knocked in 
seven tallies in one session. He did this by 
making one homer with three on and one 
with two on. Before and after he did 
nothing, 

ROBERT LINCOLN LOWE, Boston 
Nationals, against Cincinnati, at Boston, 
May 30, (p. m,), 189^third inning. 
Score of this game printed previously in 
this book, Lowe making two other homers 
in it. 

HOWLEY A HERO 

Daniel Philip Howley, who coaches the 
Detroit pitchers and who assists Tyrus Ray- 
mond Cobb in directing the Tigers, frequent- 
ly tells Heilmann & Co. they are not in his 
class as hitters. Howley holds a minor 
league record, for when Dan was manager 
of the Montreal Internationals he made two 
home runs with the bases filled in one game 
— the first off Walter (Rube) Manning, 
once of the Yankees, and the second off 
Fred Cook. These drives so jarred the 
mental poise of the Toronto manager — 
William J. (Derby Day) Clymer, now with 
Newark — that he threatened to quit the 
pastime, believing it was time to do so 
when Howley could cause such havoc.

PLAYER ONCE MADE EIGHT HOMERS 

BaUdom, disseminating information on 
players who made many home runs in one 
game, placed the limit for one battle as 
seven, with Harry Wright of the Cincinnati 
Reds as their author on June 12, 1867, 
against the Holt club, at or of Newport. Ky. 

Catching for the Reading International 
League club when this season of 1922 started 
was a man who struck eight circuit blows in 
one game, this individual being J. J. Clarke, 
better known as Nig Clarke, who was with 
Cleveland for several years and who once 
led the American League in batting. 

Clarke got his eight homers while playing 
with the Corsicana Texas League team in a 
game played at Ennis, Texas, on July 14, 
1902, against Texarkana. The game was a 
regularly scheduled game and had been 
transferred to Funis. For years nobody 
saw the score, but J. Doak Roberts, who 
once tried to sell a promising young out- 
fielder named Tris Speaker to the St. Louis 



Browns, always vouched for it and finally 
sent it to the writer, getting it, we surmise, 
from Dude Ransom of Corsicana, Tex. 

Anyhow the present president of the Texas 
League, who claims to have every score of 
every Texas League game, sent the score on 
and it showed that Clarke's team won the 
game in which he made eight homers by a 
score of 51 to 8. The victors struck 53 
blows, totalling 109 bases. J. Walter Morris, 
later a Cardinal shortstop under the 
McCloskey regime and still later president 
of the Texas League, played with the win- 
ners, who went through the season without 
being shut out and who once had a string of 
27 straight victories. 

Don't forget that to go through a season 
without being whitewashed is some record.

MORE HOME RUN DATA 

Quite a few minor leaguers have made 
three home runs in a game, but no list is 
complete. The first International League 
player to accomplish the feat was Joseph 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



65 



W. Knight, left fielder of the Hamilton 
club, at Buffalo and against Buffalo on July 
4, 1887. The Bison pitcher on this occasion 
was John J. Fanning and he was beaten 15 
to 4, Knight having a single besides his 
three drives for the full distance. 

Probably the first Eastern League player 
(the present Dan O'Neil directed organiza- 
tion is meant) to make three home runs in 
one game was Outfielder William Murphy 
of Hartford, at New Haven and against 
New Haven on May 9, 1889. At that time 
the Eastern was known as the Atlantic 
Association, Sworback was the New Haven 
pitcher in this game. The Weissmen of that 
time lost this game by a score of 10 
to 4. 

The American Association of the present 
time has a circuit that includes quite a few 
of the clubs that made up the old North- 
western League, and apparently the first 
Northwestern Leaguer to make three home 
runs in one game was George Rooks, out- 
fielder of Oshkosh, against Eau Claire on 
June 16, 1886. 

Outfielder William Bottenus of the Spring- 
field Eastern League club made three home 
runs in two innings of the game with Bing- 
hamton at Binghamton, Barnett and Carey 
pitching, on July 25, 1893, and he might 
have made more only that he got into a 
row with the umpire — Herman Doescher — 
and got fired out of the combat. The East- 
ern League of that time is practically the 
International of today. 

Scouting on the International League cir- 
cuit at the present time is a man who made 
three home runs in one of its championship 
games, that scout being James Thomas 
McGuire of the Tigers. McGuire caught 
for Toronto in 1889 and on September 2 of 
that year against Hamilton and in Toronto 
made three home runs and a single off 
Pitcher Gibbs, the Maple Leafs winning by 
a score of 22 to 5. 

NOT SURE ON THREE HOMERS IN 
ONE INNING DATA 

It is not at all certain that the figure 
hounds have run to earth all the instances 
in which three batters have successively 
made home runs in one inning, but the list 
is fairly complete and is presented below : 

May 31, 1890, Players' League — -George 
Gore, William (Buck) Ewing and Roger 
Connor of New York, in eighth inning, off 
John Kinley Tener of Pittsburgh. New 
York made 12 tallies in this inning and 23 
in the game, winning 23 to 3. John Kinley 
Tener later became governor of Pennsylvania, 
president of the National League and now 
is president of the Permanent Highways 



Corporation, having his ofiice in New York 
and being extremely willing to furnish a 
reason for the whaling he got in this fracas. 

May 10, 1894, National League — W. 
Frank Shugart, George B. Miller and 
Henry Peitz of St. Louis, in sixth inning, off 
Thomas W. Parrott of Cincinnati. Reds 
won game, 18 to 9. 

June 2, 1902, Atnerican League — Edward 
J. Delehanty, William Coughlin and George 
(Scoops) Carey of Washington in third in- 
ning off Clark Calvin Griffith of Chicago. 
After Wyatt Lee doubled in this session the 
Old Fox took himself out. 

June 30, 1902, American League — Napo- 
leon Lajoie, Charles Hickman and William 
J. Bradley of Cleveland in sixth inning off 
Charles W. (Jack) Harper of St. Louis. 
Home runs made on three pitched balls. 
Indians won game, 17 to 2. 

NINE HOMERS THE GAME LIMIT 

For a major league game the home run 
limit in nine, that number having cropped 
up in the contest in which Robert Lowe 
gathered four circuit clouts and the score 
of which is printed previously and it also 
having appeared' in a seven inning game be- 
tween Chicago and Cincinnati of the 
National League on the afternoon of July 
4, 1895. 

For one club the greatest number of home 
runs in a contest on the fast time circuits 
is seven. The data : 

June 12, 1886, National League — Detroit, 
seven home runs off Charles Sweeney and 
Al Bauer of St. Louis, Wolverines winning, 
14 to 7. 

June 6, 1894, National League — Pitts- 
burgh, seven home runs off William Lampe 
and Thomas Smith of Boston, Pirates win- 
ning, 27 to 11. 

June 3, 1921, American League — Phila- 
delphia, seven home runs oft' 'Hubert Leon- 
ard, Carl Holling and Bert Cole of Detroit, 
White Elephants winning, 15 to 9. 

MADE A GRAND BEGINNING 

William Duggleby, called Frosty Bill by 
some of the experts, is suspected to have 
been the one major leaguer to break in with 
a circuit drive that scored four runs. 
Duggleby's first National League game was 
on April 21, 1898, for the Phillies, in 
Philadelphia. In the second inning he came 
to bat with the bases filled, Monte Cross, 
Ed Abbaticchio and Ed McFarland having 
been walked just previously by the opposing 
pitcher — J. Bentley Seymour of the Giants. 
Frosty Bill at once knocked the ball out of 
the lot, scoring everybody including himself.

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



A CAPABLE SUBSTITUTE 

Charles Albert Bender, directing the desti- 
nies of the Reading International League 
club this year, possibly is the one pitcher 
who, in a game in an emergency capacity, 
helped himself to a brace of four-baggers. 
The Chief did this on May 8, 1906, at 
Boston against the pitching of Left-hander 
Jesse Tannehill when he took Topsy Hart- 
sel's place in left field. Bender, at the time, 
was with the Athletics, 

For the present no more remarks on 
home runs. 

TRIPLES BY WHOLESALE 

The wholesale triplers of the profession 
thus far have been George A. Strief, short- 
stop of the old Athletics, and William 
(Scrappy) Joyce, third baseman of the New 
York Giants. Each man jammed into one 
contest four three baggers and the Ameri- 
can Association player, when he was doing 
this, also inserted for good measure a double, 
thus flushing five long hits in one afternoon. 

Nowadays one hears quite a lot about 
lively balls and on June 25, 1885, when 
Strief was distinguishing himself there was 
used, according to a writer of that time, 
"an unusually hard and elastic ball," With 
it the Brooklyns, against whom Strief 
played, made 29 hits and the Athletics 15, 
The pitcher against whom Strief batted was 
John J, Harkins, 

Scrappy Bill Joyce, when he made his four 
triples, faced two boxmen, these being 
Emerson (Pink) Hawley and James A, 
Gardner of the Pirates, Like Harkins these 
men were right-handers. Joyce made his 
four triples a dozen years after Strief did. 

One of Joyce's 1897 companions was 
William (Kid) Gleason, now manager of 
the Chicago White Sos, and the day Scrappy 
Bill made fo;ir triples, Comiskey's field gen- 
eral handled fifteen out of sixteen chances 
at second. 

Further information about the two tripling 
feats can be obtained from the box scores :

THE DOUBLING DEMONS 

There appear to have been only nine 
major leaguers able to acquire four doubles 
in one game, but there probably were moi*e. 
One of the men in question — Frank Isbell

of the Chicago Americans — got his quartette 
of four baggers in a contest for the cham- 
pionship of the universe. The nifty nine : 

ADRIAN CONSTANTINE ANSON and 
ABNER F. DALRYMPLB, Chicago Nation- 
als, against Buffalo on July 3, 1883. Bison 
pitcher, George H. Derby, who wasn't a hat- 
^ter, but a shoemaker. Score, 31 to 7 in 
favor of the White Stockings, who crossed 
the plate so frequently because the Empire 
Staters spurned chances to retire them. 
Not one of Chicago's six run's in the fourth, 
nine in the eighth and four in the ninth 
was scored before chances had been offered 
to put the side out. 
^ THOMAS J. TUCKER, Boston Nation- 
als, on July 22, 1893, against New York. 

JOSEPH JAMES KELLEY, Baltimore 
Nationals, against Cleveland, on September 
3 (second game), 1894. Cleveland pitcher, 
Denton J. Young (Cy the First). Kelley, 
now a scout for the New York Americans, 
made five hits in five, times at bat in this 
game and four hits in four times' at bat in 
the first game of the double header — a total 
for the day of nine. Cleveland pitcher in 
earlier controversy — Sullivan. 
^ EDWARD J. DELEHANTY, Philadel- 
phia Nationals, against New York on May 
13, 1899. 

FRANK DILLON, Detroit Americans, 
against Milwaukee, on April 25, 1901, two 
of the hits coming in the ninth inning and 
the last winning the game, 14 to 13. Mil- 
waukee pitchers — Emerson P. Hawley, 
Harry Peter Dowling and Berthold J. Hus- 
ting. Detroit team, managed by George 
Stallings, took this game from Milwaukee, 
managed by Hugh Duffy, by scoring ten runs 
in ninth and by score of 14 to 13. 

FRANK ISBELL, Chicago Americans, 
against Chicago Nationals, in world's series' 
game, on October 13, 1906. Cub pitchers, 
Edward M. Reulbach, John A. Pfiester and 
Orval Overall. 

SHERWOOD ROBERT MAGEE, Phila- 
delphia Nationals, against St. Louis on June 
17, 1914. The last of Magee's blows was a 
home run, but as there was a man on second 
ajgid only one run was needed to decide game 
he only received credit . for a two-bagger. 
Present rule relative to home runs in ninth 
or extra inning put into code in 1920. 

C. C. CRAVATH, Philadelphia Nationals, 
against Cincinnati on August 8, 1915. Two 
of Wooden Shoes' doubles emptied the bases 
of their three tenants. Harry H. Davis, now 
a scout for the Philadelphia Americans, 
scored six players with two doubles when 
he was with the New York Giants on June 
27, 1896, game being against Brooklyn, in- 



nings in which he cleaned up being the fifth 
and ninth and the pitchers who suffered be- 
ing Ed Stein and Bert Abbey. 

HEYWOOD BROUN ONCE A SCRIBE 

Heywood Broun, dramatic editor of the 
New York World, once was a baseball scribe, 
breaking into the pastime in 1909 or 1910 
in Gothani on the Morning Telegraph. A 
couple of years later, when he had shifted 
over to the Tribune, he went South with the 
Giants as a war correspondent and it was 
soon after this that the fans were properly 
informed as to who held the major league 
record for the greatest number of hits in 
one game. The .individual who held and 
who holds it — Wilbert Robinson, then coach 
for the McGrawites — told Broun • he once 
had made seven hits in one game. Broun 
wrote that fact up, the matter was investi- 
gated and it was discovered that Uncle Wil- 
bert was not a member of the Ananias Club 
and that once he had struck seven blows in 
a championship game. 

Th9.t game was played on June 10, 1892, 
in Baltimore, the St. Louis club being the 
Orioles' opponents at the time and the 
pitching for the Missourians being done by 
Charles (Pretzel) Getzein, once • a world's 
series' hero ; one J. P. Young and by Theo- 
dore Breitenstem, a left-hander who lasted 
a long, long time. Robby batted seven times 
and made six singles and a double, his club 
winning on the basis of 25 to 4. 

Did the Baltimore papers devote much 
space to this stunt of Your Uncle's? 

Extremely little. 

A promising young dopester of the Monu- 
mental City searched through all the public 
prints of the time to get the absolute low 
down on Whaling Wilbert's feat and dis- 
covered this : 

NOT ONE PAPER PAID ANY ATTEN- 
TION TO THE STUNT. 

It is an accepted fact, however, that when 
Robinson made his' seven hits he batted in 
11 runs, which is a major league record.

Crooks, who played second for St. Louis in

ing been previously published, and Perry 
Werden, first baseman for the Missourians, 
was the world's home run king, by virtue 
of his 45 circuit drives for Minneapolis of 
the Western League in 1895, until Babe 
Ruth dethroned him in 1920. 



BACK TO THE RUNS BATTED IN 

Wilbert Robinson having batted in 11 
runs in this game, a major league record, the 
time seems ripe to present the score of the 
contest in which Edward (Jumbo) Cart- 
wright of the St. Louis American Associa- 
tion team established the major league record 
for the greatest number of markers driven 
in in an inning, that number being seven and 
the incident having been alluded to 
previously. 

Cartwright was the headliner in the game 
played on September 23, 1890, in St. Louis 
between the Browns and the Athletics. 
Then, in the third inning, he assaulted a 
young Quaker pitcher named Green for two 
home runs, the first being made with three 
on the runway, the second with two. He 
made no more hits during the game, which 
lasted only seven innings and which resulted 
in a St. Louis victory, 21 to 2. The Ath- 
letics, in this game, were held hitless by a 



newcomer to the Browns, a youth named 
Nichols, from some place in Illinois. The 
A's of September 23, 1890, were a terrible 
joke team, — about as bad as the Pirates of 
the same era,

GAME CONTAINING MOST RUNS 

The major league game that contained the 
greatest number of runs was played in the 
Players' League. Brooklyn won it and 
Buffalo lost it and the score was 28 to 16, 
The Bisons, whose right fielder on July 12, 
1890, was Cornelius McGillicuddy (better 
known as Connie Mack), were hard up for 
pitchers on their second trip through the 
East and in the game in Brooklyn called on 
a youth named Lewis to perform. He lasted 
three innings, yielded 20 runs and then re- 
tired to left field, Ed Beecher finishing the 
contest. In the last inning Lewis worked, 
Louis Bierbauer, second baseman of Ward's 
Wonders, made two home runs. Brooklyn's 
scrambled line-up was due to injuries to

ANSONITES SCORED 36 RUNS 

Thirty-six is the record number of runs 
scored by a major league club in one game, 
Anson's Chicago team of 1897 running up 
this huge total against Louisville on June 
29th. The Colonels acquired seven counters. 
Charles C. Eraser, commonly called "Chick," 
started to pitch for Louisville the day 
Anson's team went run mad and was re- 
placed in the third by a young man from 
Paducah named Jones. The Ansonites 
scored in every inning, they all made runs 
and they all made hits. Barry McCormick, 
National League umpire now, was the lead- 
ing swatter of the huge afternoon, with six 
blows. The score of this classic :

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



September 10, 1891, American Association 
— Milwaukee 30, Washington 3, Brewers 
making 23 hits for a total of 31 bases off 
Frank Foreman and Gilbert Hatfield. Mil- 
waukee had just taken Cincinnati's place in 
the American Association and it was the 
team's first appearance at home. Does any- 
one know of a more auspicious debut? 

June 18, 1893, National League— Cincin- 
nati 30, Louisville 12' Reds making 19 
singles, four doubles, five triples and three 
home runs off Rhodes. Flying start ob- 
tained by winners, who made 14 runs in first 
inning. 

A 41 TO 9 GAME 

St. Paul, of the Western League, a team 
managed by Charles Comiskey, d-efeated 
Minneapolis 41 to 9 at Minneapolis on July 
5, 1896, Byron Bancroft Johnson being the 
party to whom the official score was sent, as 
he then was president, secretary and treas- 
urer of the Western League, which was the 
forerunner of the American League. In this 
clouting classic the Apostles scored in every 
inning and emitted eight home runs, the 
Miller pitchers being John Healy, Cnrney 
and Connor. Jack Glasscock, Comiskey's 
shortstop, batte*d nine times in this scrap, 
scored seven runs and made eight hits^ two 
being doubles and one being a home run. 
Anyone interested in heavy scoring events 
would do well to look up the Western 
League of this period. 

ANOTHER GAME ALMOST AS LARGE 

Nine years earlier — on June 15, 1887 — 
Lowell of the New England League won 
over Haverhill of the same organization 41 
to 7 in a game that lasted only 7 innings. 
Tim Shinnick, who was one of the stars of 
the New York State League when John 
Conway Toole, now president of the Inter- 
national, umpired in it, played with the 
winners, while Fred Doe, who probably 
knows more about New England baseball 
than anyone else, pastimed with the losers. 

There are plenty of large scores to be 
found in minor league games if one takes the 
trouble to look for them. The two cited 
above are among the largest. 

PITCHED WHEN HECKER WAS 
HEAVY SCORER 

In Lowell at the present time lives the 
man who pitched the day Guy Hecker set 
the major league game record for runs 
scored at seven. That pitcher was Richard 
Conway of Baltimore. Hecker, in the game 
in question, made according to some scribes, 
three home runs, two doubles and a single ; 



according to others, he made three home runs 
and three singles. 

If Sir Guy did what his most ardent ad- 
mirers claimed he did he hit for a total of 
17 bases on Conway. Frank Fennelly of 
the Atlantic City club, on May 25, 1882, ob- 
tained one double, three triples and two 
home runs in one game — an aggregate of 19. 
Fennelly had plenty of chances to bat 
against Hecker later, for he played with 
Cincinnati and the Athletics. 

The last season Sir Guy put in with the 
Louisville team was 1889 and that year the 
Colonels lost 111 games. Then he went to 
the Pittsburgh National League club and it 
promptly lost 114. Both teams Hecker was 
with established records for their leagues 
for consecutive defeats and Guy was re- 
garded as a Jonah. 

However, on August 15, 1886, he was not 
a J ouah to himself, for witness what he did :

SCORED SIX RUNS IN GAMES 

Here are some, but not all, of the major 
leaguers who have scored six runs in games : 

JAMES E. WHITNEY, Boston Nationals 
— June 9, 1883, in game with Detroit. 
Whitney's team made 30 runs. 

MICHAEL J. TIERNAN, New York 
Nationals — June 15, 1887, in game with 
Philadelphia. Tiernan's team made 29 runs. 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



71 



MICHAEL J. KELLY and EZRA B. 
^ SUTTON, Boston Nationals— August 27, 
1887, in game with Pittsburgh. Their team 
made 28 runs. 

ROBERT LINCOLN LOWE, Boston Na- 
tionals — May 3, 1895, in game with Wash- 
ington. Lowe's team made 27 runs. 

CLARENCE H. BEAUMONT, Pitts- 
burgh Nationals — July 22, 1899, in game 
with Philadelphia. Beaumont's team made 
18 runs. "Ginger" laid down and beat out 
in this game six infield bunts, Wiley Piatt 
being the Quaker pitcher and "Chick" 
Eraser filling in at third. 

WALKED SIX TIMES, SCORED SIX 
TIMES 

Harry Hulen of the Minneapolis Western 
League club, on August 1, 1895, scored six 
runs in a game against Grand Rapids with- 
out being at bat once. Every time he was 
up he was passed by the Michigan pitchers, 
who were George Borchers, Tommy Niland 
and Jimmy Callopy. The last named is now 
in Holyoke, Mass. Hulen additionally stole 
five bases. 

ALSO GOT SIX PASSES 

Walter Wilmot of the Chicago Natienals 
got six passes in a game with Cleveland on 
August 22, 1891, but he didn't score six 
runs. Before that and since the record 
number of gifts for a major league player 
in one contest was and is five. 

MEN WHO HAVE MADE SIX HITS 

Thirty-three names now adorn the list of 
major leaguers who, batting six times in 
games, have made six hits — and the list 
doesn't include all the men who have done 
so. Each year brings discoveries along this 
line and the last of the published lists omit- 
ted Jack Boyle, originally a catcher and 
then a first baseman of the Phillies, and 
John McTamany, outfielder of the Kansas 
City American Association team. 

E{fward J. Delahanty is the only major 
leaguer who twice made six hits in games, 
doing so once with the Cleveland Players' 
League club and once as a member of the 
Phillies. 

Clarence Beaumont of the Pirates ranks 
in a class by himself as having scored six 
runs when he was making his six hits, all 
these being bunts, by the way. 

Daniel Murphy of the Athletics is the one 
pastimer to get six blows when he was mak- 
ing his first appearance in the American 
League. He had previously played in the 
National, so Danny cannot be credited with 



tearing off half a dozen blows on the occa- 
sion of his major league debut. 

Only for a bit of misfortune Murphy might 
have made seven hits the day he made six. 
The bit of misfortune lay in his train being 
late and his not arriving at the park of the 
Boston Americans until the first inning had 
been played. 

In their collection of safeties, five men — 
one from the National and one from the 
American Leagues and three from the Ameri- 
can Association — included hits of each kind. 
Larry Twitchell had five long hits and one 
short one ; Ted Larkin, Buck Weaver I and 
Dave Orr, four long ones and two short 
ones, and Bobby Veach, three long ones and 
the same number of short ones. Guy Hecker 
either made three long hits or five long hits, 
whichever score one desires to use. 

Using the score in which he is given five 
extra base smashes entitled Sir Guy to a 
total of 17 bases on his six drives. The 
aggregate of Larry Twitchell's drives is 16, 
of Weaver's 14, of Orr's 13, and of Larkin's 
13. Veach's blows were worth 12 bases. 

Lew Dickerson of Worcester seems to 
have been the first big leaguer to make six 
hits in six times at bat in one game, doing 
so in 1881. Possibly somebody did the same 
thing before that. 

Only once did two players make six hits 
in the same controversy. The players were 
Jack Doyle and Billy Keeler of Baltimore. 

This is the most complete list of six-hit 
men -ever published, but it isn't a complete 
list :

MOST HITS IN GAME— 36 

Thirty-six hits seem to be the most for a 
major league game, the Phillies getting this 
number off a Colonel curver named Wads- 
worth on August 17, 1894, and winning 
then 29 to 4. Some other individual prob- 
ably would have had the misfortune to have 
yielded the greatest number of safeties if 
Wadsworth's backstop — Weaver — only had 
clung to a third strike in the first inning. 
He didn't, and after this the Phillies scored 
six runs. 

Every Philadelphia batter made one or 
more hits in which the club batting record 
for the major leagues was set, Sam Thomp- 
son acquiring six — three singles, a double, 
a triple and a home run. He batted seven 
times. 

This is the score of the major league 
game in which the largest number of hits 
was made by one club :

THE COURTEOUS WESTERN UNION 

Detroit's nine young men had 18 runs 
scored on them in one inning by Anson's 
Chicago White Stockings once and naturally 
the public prints of that place wanted quite 
a few of the harrowing details. The score 
for the Free Press came in minus the assists 
and errors for the vanquished and it was 
printed that way, the sporting editor (who 
may have been Charles F. Mathison, now 
of the New York Herald) making this com- 
ment : 

"The Free Press would be pleased to 
submit the full score of . this remarkable 
game to its readers, but the Western Union 
Telegraph Company, which has now no ex- 
cuse for poor service, has furnished it bob- 
tailed and in ludicrous deformity it is sub- 
mitted below. The company was requested 
to supply the missing links, but the head 
operator declined to do so." 

In the large inning, which is the largest 
on record in a major league game, 23 men 
batted and 18 scored. Fourteen runs were 
scored before a man was put out and before 
Manager Dan O'Leary changed pitchers. 
Chicago got 18 hits in this inning and 
Thomas Everett Burns made three of them — 
two doubles and one home run. 

The score of this remarkable game, said 
score being from the Chicago Tribune :

A FRUITFUL FIRST ROUND 

Boston's National League representatives, 
on the morning of Bunker Hill Day, 1894 
(the date was J'une 18), gave Baltimore's 
Orioles the warmest welcome on record in 
fast company by scoring 16 runs against 
them in the pry-off period. One pitcher 
worked all through this session for the Mary- 
landers, this pitcher being Tony Mullane, 
frequently referred to in this history (or 
whatever you call it) as Anthony J. 
Mullane. 

Twenty-two men faced the Count in this 
large inning, 11 hits being made, seven passes 
being given and one athlete being vaccinated. 
Mullane's catcher — W i 1 b e r t Robinson, 
Brooklyn manager now — took himself out at, 
the end of the opening round in order to be 
in shape for the afternoon game, which 
game the Orioles, recuperating, won then, 
9 to 7. In the morning they lost 24 to 7, 
Mullane being relieved in the seventh by 
Bert Inks, a young left-hander. 

This is what happened in the largest first 
inning ever played in a major league : 

Lowe singled to right ; Long singled to 
right ; . Duffy walked ; McCarthy doubled ; 
Nash singled ; Tucker singled ; Bannon made 
a home run ; Ganzel flied to Brodie ; Stivetts 
made a hom^ run ; Lowe was hit by a piched 
ball ; Long singled ; Duffy made a home run ; 
McCarthy walked ; Nash fanned ; Tucker 
walked ; Bannon walked ; Ganzel walked ; 
Stivetts singled ; Lowe singled ; Long walked ; 
Duffy walked; McCarthy forced Duffy at 
second. 

Boston and Baltimore also were involved 
in the largest closing inning on record in 



the National League and involved in it just 
previously to their meeting of June 18, 1894. 

On April 24th of that year, in Baltimore, 
the Orioles, taking their last turn at bat 
against Boston, were behind, 3 to 1. They 
went after Charley Nichols so viciously he 
was pulled and then kept up their rough 
work when Jack Stivetts supplanted the 
Kid, scoring 14 runs before the third out 
was recorded. Many of the tallies the 
Orioles got in the ninth that day proved 
superfluous, managers then not having 
learned the wisdom of having their teams, 
when at home, bat last. It used to be 
thought an advantage to bat first, for then 
one got the initial crack at the new ball. 

In some leagues — smaller ones, of course — 
a club could go through the season with a 
dozen balls. Each game would be started 
with the same new ball and woe be to the 
player who hit at the first ball, for it came 
right out of play after the pitcher had flung 
it once to the backstop. 

The first extra inning that was a real 
large one was the eleventh, in the game be- 
tween Kansas City and Detroit, of the Na- 
tional League, on July 21, 1886. Then the 
Cowboys broke up the game properly, scor- 
ing 10 runs off Charles (Pretzel) Getzein. 
The blow-up of the Wolverines so exasper- 
ated their manager — William Henry Wat- 
kins — that he tacked a $25 fine on Ned 
Hanlon, his centre fielder and a $100 fine 
on Getzein, each run Kansas City scored in 
the eleventh period thus costing the Detroit 
pitcher $10. 

AUTHORITY FOR THE GORE FEAT 

George Gore of Chicago and William R. 
Hamilton of Philadelphia, National Leaguers 
both, are credited with the greatest number 
of stolen bases in one game — seven — and 
quite a few inquiries have been made as to 
how Gore got credit for stealing seven bases 
in 1881 when stolen bases were not reported 
then. 

The S. B.'s were not in .the summaries 
then, but the able athletes were filching 
sacks at that time and here is the authority 
for the feat : 

Story from the Chicago Triiune of June 26, 
1881 — Chicago won over Providence by vir- 
tue of superiority in every point of play, but 
notably so in base running. Gore's perfor- 
mances in this line were something phe- 
nomenal. Out of four times at bat, once 
getting his base on balls, he made three clean 
hits, stole second base five times and stole 
third base twice — a record which as a whole 
has probably never been equalled in a 
league game. The final score was 12 to 8. 

So Gore did steal seven bases on June 25, 
1881, even if the score doesn't show it. 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



75 



The date Hamilton stole seven bases was 
August 31, 1894, the Phillies playing Wash- 
ington that day. The game lasted only 
eight innings. The Senators' battery con- 
sisted of Wynne, a newcomer to the National 
League, and Dugdale. 

To make up for having a Washington bat- 
tery responsible for the greatest number of 
steals by a player in a major league game, 
Charles A, (Duke) Farrell, catcher of the 
District of Columbia team nailed eight 
Orioles who tried to steal second in a game 
played three years later. 

Win Mercer was the Washington pitcher 
in this game, which was played on May 11, 
1897, in Washington, with Baltimore win- 
ning 6 to 3 despite Fiyrell's great throwing. 

The Pirates could have used a catcher 
of the Farrell type 17 years earlier in their 
game at the Polo Grounds. On May 23, 
1890, the Giants stole 17 bases on the Pitts- 
burgh battery of Schmitt and Miller, Joe 
Hornung getting six of these steals. 

Schmitt was a note-book pitcher. He had 
a little memorandum book in which he used 
to jot down the peculiarities of the men who 
batted against him, but evidently on May 
23, 1890. the studious twirler must have 
mislaid this book or forgotten what he had 
written, for the Giants pestled him for 19 
hits and had as many stolen bases as 
runs. 

Twenty-two years elapsed in the major 
leagues before another player swiped six 
cushions in a game (Hamilton swiped seven, 
not six). Then Edward Trowbridge Collins 
of the Athletics, who played under the 
alias of Sullivan when he first pastimed 
in the American League, twice did what Joe 
(Ubbo) Hornung had done once. The two 
feats came close together. The dope on 
them : 

EDDIE COLLIJNTS TWICE STEALS 
SIX BASES 

September 11, 1912, at Detroit— Six stolen 
bases against Detroit, Joe Lake being Tiger 
pitcher and Bradley Kocher, Tiger catcher. 

September 22, 1912, at St. Louis— Six 
stolen bases against St. Louis, Mack Allison, 
Samuel Leroy Napier and Roy Mitchell 
being Brown pitchers and James Stephens 
.and Walter Alexander Brown, catchers. 
Collins stole second, third and home in the 
seventh inning. 

Joshua Devore, midget outfielder and a 
world's series' star in 1912, never stole his 
way from first to the plate in one inning 
during his career in the National, but on 
June 12th of the same year in which Collins 
got a dozen thefts in two games, Joshua 
pinched four hassocks in one stanza. That 
stanza was the ninth of a game with Boston, 



Bradley Hogg and Whitehouse constituting 
the Braves' battery then. Devore got on 
twice in the ninth and each time stole second 
and third. He had no steals previously. 

LITERATURE ON SACRIFICING 
SLIGHT 

There isn't much sacrifice-hitting litera- 
ture in existence. A man might be the most 
wonderful bunter in the world and yet fans 
wouldn't get deeply excited over him nor 
would special stories be written about him. 

The most notable feats in . sacrifice bunt- 
ing were when players advanced their men 
four times in one game in this manner. 
William Hallman the First got 'Credit for 
four sacrifice hits in a game in the Players' 
League in 1890, but perhaps all these were 
not bunts. 

Athletes who have laid down four taps 
that advanced runners in one game are as 
follows : 

WADE HAMPTON KILLEFER, Wash- 
ington Americans — Against Detroit, August 
27, 1910, in first game and then in second, 
he bunted first time up, making five sacri- 
fices in a row. 

JACOB ELLSWORTH DAUBERT, 
Brooklyn Nationals — Against Philadelphia, 
August 15, 1914, four sacrifice bunts. 

JOHN J. BARRY, Boston Americans— 
Against Cleveland, August 21, 1916, four 
sacrifice bunts. 

RAYMOND JOHNSON CHAPMAN, 
Cleveland Americans — A gainst Chicago, 
August 31, 1919, four sacrifice bunts. 

August, you will observe, is the favorite 
month for sacrifice bunting feats to be pulled 
off in. 

As for anything out of the ordinary in 
sacrifice flies, there is just one performance 
worth mentioning. On May 5, 1909, Harry 
Steinfeldt of the Cubs scored Heinie Zim- 
merman from third three times with fly 
balls, the game being against Cincinnati and 
Chicago winning it, 3 to 2. 

THE GALLANT DEFENDERS 

Much attention so far has been paid to 
the heroes of the attack, little to the bul- 
warks of the defense. The principal bul- 
wark, of course, is the pitcher and now he 
seems to be coming into his own again 
after a couple of years when the batsman 
reigned supreme. 

Major league presidents, minor league 
presidents, too, seem to think that the dear 
old public, which pays the freight, loves 
earned run data on the boxmen whereas, as 
a matter of fact, the d. o. p. cares very 
little for information of this kind. No pitch- 
er, because he has allowed only a small per-

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



centage of earned runs to his opponents, 
ever has attracted many cash customers to 
a ball park. On the contrary, a strikeout 
king or a man who is downing everybody 
with great ease will bring the fans to the 
orchards. 

Elimination of freak deliveries has re- 
duced the number of whiflBng monarchs to 
such an extent that now there are practi- 
cally none. Walter Johnson seems to be 
about the last of them. Urban Shocker of 
the St. Louis Browns occasionally does 
something out of the ordinary in the whif- 
ling line, but he doesn't do it on purpose 
and he does do it with the spit ball*. 

Shocker originally was a catcher and when 
he started pitching knew nothing about the 
moist delivery. His curve ball wasn't much, 
and it looked as if he would have to return 
to mask and mit work if he intended to 
remain in the pastime. 

At this time Shocker was with the Ottawa 
club of the Canadian League, that club being 
managed by Frank Joseph Shaughnessy, 
Notre Dame graduate and present leader of 
the Syracuse Internationals. Shaughnessy 
suggested that Shocker try the spit ball 
and Urban J. did, winning over his oppo- 
nents 5 to the first time he used it. And 
the first time he used it he didn't use it all 
the time, faking the spitter a good deal 
just as Edward Armstrong Walsh used to do. 

Shocker, recently called by Alfred Damon 
Runyan of the New York American, the 
greatest pitcher in captivity, kept plugging 
away at his new delivery until he was able 
to control it and at the same time kept per- 
fecting himself in fielding until it was suicide 
to try and bunt on him. Shaughnessy, a 
hard worker himself, says that he never saw 
such a faithful worker as the present 
Brownie, and if the real history of the 
successful pitchers ever were written it 
would be found that their success was due 
to work, work and then still more work. 

When the time came to sell Shocker, 
Detroit was asked to take him. Back came 
the word : 

"Ml*. Jennings does not like spit ball 
pitchers." 

The Yankees finally got him and they 
nearly lost him once before they traded him 
to St. Louis. That was in 1916, when 
someone in the New York club office, not 
knowing the American League constitution, 
forgot to recall waivers on Shocker after 
these had been asked so they could send him 
out. Cleveland claimed Shocker at the time 
and would have obtained him only that 
President James C. Dunn of the Indians 
did not desire to benefit by a rival's mistake. 

Walter Perry Johnson, who never pitched 
in organized ball before the afternoon of 
August 22, 1907, seems likely to hold the 



world's strikeout record, for the majors, un- 
less someone discovers some new and baffling 
kind of ball. • 

When this season of 1921 started. Johnson 
stood credited with 2827 strikeouts, these 
obtained in 15 years. Denton J. Young (Cy 
I) fanned 2784 men from 1890 to 1911 in- 
clusive — a space of 22 years. 

George Edward Waddell, left-hander, who 
began in the major leagues with the Louis- 
ville Nationals in 1897, pitched later for 
the Pirates and the Cubs and then put in 
almost 10 years in the American League 
with the Athletics and the Browns, was a 
wonderful man in fanning players. His 
speed was terrific and his curve broke sharp- 
ly. When he was right he needed little more 
than an infield and a backstop and in exhibi- 
tion games it was his practice to call in the 
outfielders in the ninth inning — and then 
strike out the side. The Rube died of tuber- 
culosis some years back. His greatest pitch- 
ing was done for the Athletics from 1902 to 
1907. inclusive, and in the first named of 
these years he had a lot to do with saving 
the American League, just as Christy 
Mathewson had a lot to do with saving the 
National League in 1901. 

What kind of a world's series' pitcher 
Waddell was, never was determined, as in 
1905, just before the battles for the cham- 
pionship of the universe started, he hurt his 
priceless salary wing in a playful scuffle with 
some team-mates and he could not operate 
against the Giants. In 1902, there was no 
world's series, and when the Athletics won 
pennants later he was not with them. 

Doing his best pitching for the Athletics, 
it was with the Browns, in 1908, that 
Waddell had his largest strikeout afternoon. 
That afternoon was on July 29, 1908, when 
the Browns, led by James Robert McAleer, 
were making a great bid for the pennant 
they never have won and when they were 
playing the Rube's old team. 

On that July afternoon he hung up 
the American League strikeout record at 
sixteen. Fred Glade, right-handed pitcher 
of the St. Louis club, is supposed to have 
fanned 16 men in a game against Washing- 
ton on July 18, 1904. J. Sidney Mercer, 
now one of the baseball editors of the New 
York Journal and then the road secretary of. 
the Browns, saying he did and the box 
scores saying he didn't. Thomas S, Rice, 
now baseball editor of the Brooklyn Eagle 
and then a baseball writer in Washington, 
probably could tell whether Glade fanned 15 
or 16 men that day, but Glade's record, until 
real evidence to the contrary is produced, 
will stand at 15 — one less than Waddell's. 
Glade's arm went back on him in 1908, 
when he was with the Yankees, and he re-

Grasshopper Jim Whitney, Boston's box- 
man, was in fine fettle, too, and fanned 10 
of the Grays. One of the game's features 
was a triple play. 

Sweeney deserted the Providence club 
later, to go with the St. Louis Maroons of 
the Union Association, and thus Charles 
Radbourne got his chance to pitch 22 con- 
secutive games — and to pitch Providence to 
her second and last National League pen- 
nant at the same time. 

When Sweeney came back to the National

ONE-ARMED MAN FANS 19 

Another major leaguer who fanned 19 men 
was Hugh Daily, the one-armed pitcher of 
the Chicago Union Association club. He 
made a carbon copy of Sweeney's exploit 
one month later and in the same city, then 
winning over the Boston Unions, 5 to 0, 
and holding them to one hit — a triple by 
Ned Crane, later a Giant hurler, who made 
the trip around the world with the Spalding 
tourists in 1888-1889. Timothy Hayes Mur- 
nane, later a well-known baseball writer, 
who died in 1917, was the first baseman on

FANNED 18— AND LOST 

A curving contemporary of Daily's and 
Sweeney's in the Union Association of 1884 
was Fred L. (Dupee) Shaw, connected with 
the Boston club, and on July 19th he must 
have imagined he was a life member of the 
Hoodoo club for these apparently good and 
sufficient reasons : 

In the game at Boston against the St. 
Louis Unions, July 19, 1884, Shaw fanned 
18 of the Maroons, let them have one hit, a 
single by Joe Quinn, later to make his mark 
in the National as a second baseman with 
Selee's Bostons, and got beaten neverthe- 
less, 1 to 0. 

The game's bachelor count developed in 
the sixth inning from a muffed third strike 
by Brown on Gleason, Dave Rowe's sacri- 
fice hit and a wild pitch. 

Of Shaw's 18 strikeouts four were sup- 
plied by Orator George Shaffer, three by 
Jack Brennan, catcher by profession, but 
right fielding that afternoon, and three by 
Shortstop Whitehead. 

Henry Boyle pitched for the winners. He 
allowed five blows and fanned 11 men. 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



79 



ANOTHER GREAT LEFT-HANDER 

Dupee Shaw was a left-hander and so 
was Thomas Ramsey, commonly called the 
Toad, who set the strikeout record for the 
American Association at 17 in 1886 and 
then went out a year later, when four 
strikes had to be obtained in order to retire 
a man, and equalled his own record. 

Ramsey began his Association career 
with Louisville and finished it with St. 
Louis. It was as a Colonel that he did his 
deadliest work against the batters. A brick- 
layer before he took up the pastime, Ramsey 
seemed to have acquired phenomenal 
strength in his arm and fingers laying brick 
and he used this to good advantage when he 
pitched. His speed was nothing terrible, 
but he had a drop ball that would break 
a foot at least. 

The first time Ramsey fanned 17 men 
was on August 9, 1886, at Louisville, when 
the Colonels had as their opponents the Met- 
ropolitans. One man who refused to whiff 
was Dave Orr. New York first baseman, he 
getting four hits in four trips to the plate. 
Frank Hankinson third baseman, struck 
two blows and Barney McLaughlin, second 
baseman, one, but the seven swats gained 
nothing useful for the Mets, who were 
beaten, 6 to 0. In this game the Mets' 
.pitcher was a chap named Mays, and if he 
was related to Carl of the Yankees no one 
knows about the matter. 

When Ramsey equalled his own strikeout 
record, on June 21st of the next year, with 
the Clevelands as his victims, the incident 
created no visible impression on the Forest 
City representative of the A. P., whose lead 
for the game read thus : 

"CLEVELAND, June 21, 1887— The 
fielding of the home players was the worst 
conceivable and they walked to the bat like 
innocents going to the slaughter." 

One of the innocents of the team of that 
year, but not of the team of that day, was 
Robert Gilks. now a scout for the Yankees 
and then about everything on the Cleveland 
club. Said club, with Billy Crowell pitch- 
ing, was beaten 21 to 1 making 11 errors and 
getting five safe hits and two hits that 
weren't safe because they were bases on 
balls. 

In 1887, don't forget that the batter had 
four strikes before he was retired. 

Nine days- later, Ramsey came through 
with another strikeout stunt of large dimen- 
sions and this time one of the news associa- 
tions got quite enthusiastic over the Toad. 
Witness this lead from St. Louis on June 
30, 1887, after Ramsey had fanned 16 of 
Comiskey's clouting Browns : 



"ST. LQUIS, June 30, 1887— Ramsey's 
record of 16 strikeouts against the St. Louis 
Browns took the country by surprise. He 
beat it by one point, however, in a game 
against the Clevelands. There is no doubt 
about it, Ramsey is the greatest pitcher on 
the diamond and his invincible left arm is 
worth a fortune to the Louisville club." 

The day Ramsey took the country by sur- 
prise and 16 of the Browns by the strikeout 
route his team won 11 to 4, Nat Hudson 
being the Missourian's moundsman. 

When he was taking the country by sur- 
prise and taking 16 of the Browns on strikes, 
these were the men whom Ramsey fanned • 

William H. (Yank) Robinson, three times. 

A. J. (Doc) Bushong, W^alter A. (Dude) 
Latham, William Gleason, Curt Welch and 
Nat Hudson, twice. 

Dave Foutz. Charles Comiskey and James 
F. (Tip) O'Neill, once. 

Nobody escaped. ' ~ 

SEVEN CHANCES— SEVEN BOOTS 

Robinson, fanned oftener by Ramsey on 
June 30, 1887, than any of the other Browns, 
became a world's record holder on May 26, 
1891, when playing second for the Cincin- 
nati American Association team against 
Boston, he spurned every one of the seven 
chances .he was offered. John Francis 
Dwyer, now one of the members of the box- 
ing commission of New York State, pitched 
this game for Kelly's Killers and won it, 21 
to 16, despite the fact that on seven chances 
Robinson made seven errors. 

The Robinson of the Browns of 1887 and 
of Kelly's Killers of 1891 was the Robinson 
of the Saginaw team of 1883 mentioned on 
Page 257 of Balldom as having made two 
doubles and a triple in the sixth inning of 
a game against Dayton on April 21st in 
which the Michigan, combination scored 20 
runs. 

NEITHER A NO-HIT HERp 

Neither Ramsey nor Waddell, left-handers, 
who put Louisville on the major league map, 
even if they didn't keep the city there, ever 
pitched a no-hit game in the major leagues. 
The Toad emitted a onerhit classic at Balti- 
more on July 31, 1886, for the game went 
12 innings and he won it 2 to 1 with Matt 
Kilroy opposing him. Ramsey then fanned 
16 men. The safety off him was a double 
by Fulmer. 

Waddell pitched several one-hit games, but 
the one in which his chance of getting among 
the immortals vanished most quickly was 
against Detroit at Columbia Park, Phila- 
delphia, on May 17, 1906. Then the first 
Tiger batter laid down a bunt and beat it 



80 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



out. After that nobody in the Michigan 
team's lineup got a hit or anything that 
resembled it. 

The name of the cruel young Tiger who 
beat Waddell out of a no-hit game at the 
start of the combat was Tyrus Raymond 
Cobb. 

FANNED 16— AND LOST 

One would think that if a pitcher fanned 
16 men his chances of winning a game in 
which he did so would be bright, but history 
shows at least two contests where men have 
whiffed 16 and been beaten. 

One of the unfortunates was a National 
Leaguer, the other was identified with the 
then rival American Association. Each ran 
into this harrowing experience in 1886, more 
information on these two games being fur- 
nished below : 

At Philadelphia, August 24, 1886, Ameri- 
can Association game — Matt Kilroy of 
Baltimore fanned 16 of the Athletics and 
held them to two hits, yet lost 3 to 0. The 
lead-off man of the winners was Uncle 
Wilbert Robinson of Brooklyn. Robby 
whiffed three times. 

At Washington, September 28, 1886, 
National League game — F. T. (Shadow) 
Gilmore of Washington fanned 16 of the 
St. Louis club and yet lost 5 to 2. The 
safeties of the Maroons numbered six, three 
being for extra bases. The catcher for the 
losers was Connie Mack, now manager of 
the Athletics and then about a month old 
as a major leaguer. Mack got two of his 
team's six safeties. 

WON WHILE FANNING 16 

Among the major league pitchers who have 
fanned 16 men and won their games while 
getting strikeouts by the wholesale are John 
Clarkson, Frank (Noodles) Hahn and 
Christy Mathewson, of the National League, 
and Tom Ramsey, of the American Asso- 
ciation. 

Clarkson, in 1886, pitching for Chicago 
against Kansas City, fanned 16 men and 
won his game, the date being August 14th. 

Ramsey, in 1886, pitching for Louisville 
(American Association) against Baltimore, 
fanned 16 men and won his game, 6 to 0, 
allowing one hit — a single by. O'Connell, 
Oriole centre fielder. Date of this game, 
July 29th ; on July 31st, as previously 
shown, Ramsey came through with another 
one-hit game at the expense of the Mary- 
landers, this one going 12 innings and 16 
men being fanned in it, too. 

Hahn. in 1901, pitching for Cincinnati 
against Boston, fanned 16 men and won his 
game, 4 to 3, setting every member of the 



Massachusetts team down on strikes. These 
were his victims : Herman Long, three times ; 
Fred Tenney, Gene Demont, Daff Gammons, 
Elmer Smith and Victor Willis, twice ; Pat 
Moran (now manager of the Cincinnati 
club), Malachi Kittredge and Billy Hamil- 
ton, once. The date was May 22nd. 

Mathewson, in 1904, pitching for New 
York against St. Louis, fanned 16 men and 
won his game, 3 to 1. The date ;\'as October 
3rd. This was Matty's largest strikeout 
afternoon in the majors, but possibly not in 
his baseball career. When Big Six was 
playing around Factory ville, Pa., in 1897 
and 1898, (possibly a bit earlier), he used 
to get one dollar for pitching one ball game 
— and he was perfectly satisfied with his 
pay. 

WHEN MATTY STARTED OUT 

Mathewson, in his first season as a pro- 
fessional, got $30 more a month than Tris 
Speaker did, Spoke signing for $50 a month 
and the contract being preserved and shown 
to Texas Leaguers later who had exalted 
ideas about salaries. J. Doak Roberts, now 
president of the Texas League, probably has 
the contract still. Speaker promised to get 
it for the writer once, but never carried out 
his threat. 

Mathewson's salary with the Taunton, 
Mass. club of the New England League in 
1899 was for $80 a month, to be paid in 
eight instalments of $10 each, but when the 
season closed there still was owing to him 
several of these $10 instalments. 

In his first season out Big Six pitched nine 
full games for the Tauntons, who were tail- 
enders, winning two and losing seven. 
Right now it should be stated that the 
authority on Matty when he- was a New 
England Leaguer is P. E. Shirley of the 
Boston Herald. 

Both Matty's wins in the New England 
League were over Portland, one of the 
strong teams of the organization. These tri- 
umphs were at home and away from home. 
The leader of the strong team that Matty 
beat twice was John (Phenomenal) Smith 
and Smith later was Matty's manager at 
Norfolk. However, that is getting ahead 
of the story, which has to do with what 
Big Six did wfien he was in the New 
England League 

Christopher the Crafty pitched his first 
game in professional ball on July 21, 1899, 
at Manchester, N. H. and lost it 6 to 5, 
allowing nine hits. His team came strong 
at the finish and made three runs and it 
might have won the game had Big Six been 
able to get a hit or so in his four trips to 
the plate. However, on two of these Matty 
fanned. This is the score of the game in

Lack of control was Mathewson's fault 
when he was in the New England Leagme 
and it was his fault when he first went to 
the Giants in July of 1900. The early part 
of that season he spent at Norfolk in the 
Virginia League, his manager down there 
being Phenomenal Smith, now a police 
sergeant at Manchester. 

Smith signed Mathewson for the Norfolk 
club in the fall of 1899 in Philadelphia. Big 
Six being in the Quaker City with the 
Bucknell football team, for which he kicked 
two field goals from placement in the game 
against Pennsylvania. 

Matty, in the winter of 1900, either 
accepted terms or signed a contract with 
Connie Mack to pitch for the Athletics, but 
when the season started he was with the 
Giants. They had turned him back to 
Norfolk and Cincinnati had acquired him 
and he got hsipk to the Polo Grounds because 
the Reds traded him to the Giants for Amos 
Rusie. k 



Balldom is balled up on the first appear- 
ance in fast company of one of the world's 
greatest pitchers. Mathewson did not start 
the game of July 17, 1900, in Brooklyn, nor 
did he lose it by a score of 13 to 7. That 
was the score of the game, but Ed Doheny 
started the battle and Matty only came in 
after the Superbas had scored enough runs 
(or near runs) to cancel an early lead the 
Giants had obtained off Joe McGinnity. 

The score of the game in which Mathew- 
son made his National League debut was 5 
to 2 in New York's favor when the Superbas 
took their turn at bat in the fifth. They 
made three runs off Doheny. got two men 
on the bags and then Manager George 
Stacey Davis yanked the left-hander and 
put Mathewson in. This is how Big Six 
pitched in the first inning he was at work : 

Joe Kelley, Yankee scout now, walked, 
filling the bases. 

Bill Dahlen flied to centre, Jimmy Sheck- 
ard scoring. 

Lave Cross singled, filling the bases. 

Tom Daly flied to centre, Gene Demont 
scoring. 

Duke Farrell was hit by a pitched ball, 
filling the bases. 

Joe McGinnity struck out.

LOST BOTH CLASSICS 

Mathewson had the misfortune to lose 
both the most important games in which he 
worked — the play-off game with the Cubs 
for the championship in 1908 and the final 
game for the championship of the world in 
1912 with the Red Sox. In the earlier con- 
test Big Six, according to some, went down 
to defeat because J. Bentley Seymour did 
not play properly for Joe Tinker, who prob- 
ably hit Matty harder than any player who 
batted against him, and certainly in the 
world's title game of 1912, unfortunate 
errors, the most costly by Fred Snodgrass, 
kept Bucknell's best know^n graduate from 
conquering the Red Sox. 

Baseball is full of curiosities, and one of 
these is that Mathewson, when he pitched 
his last game in the National League, had 
as his box rival the man who probably beat 
him oftener than anyone else. That man was 
Mordecai Peter Centennial Brown, the three- 
fingered marvel of the Cubs. 

Brown, graduate of the coal mines, like 
Edward Armstrong Walsh, now umpiring in 
the American League, came into the National 
three years after Matty, being with, the 
Cardinals in 1903 and being traded to 
Chicago the next year. 

It was Brown who pitched against 
Mathewson in the play-off game of 1908, the 
Miner being called in after Jack Pfiester, 
left-hander, known at that time as Jack the 
Giant Killer, had opened wildly and inef- 
fectively. Brown stopped the Giants prac- 
tically in their tracks and Chicago later had 
one large inning on Mathewson and then 
settled the issue as to whether New York or 
Chicago would play against Detroit in the 
world's series. 

National League players of the era of 
Brown and Mathewson have told the writer 
that at throttling rallies there was no one 
quite like Mordecai P. C. "He could go in 
without warming up and stop you," says 
John Hummel, now managing Springfield of 
the Eastern League. "You'd see Brown 
sitting on the bench one instant and then, 
when you had started hitting a pitcher, he 
would desert that spot and be right in there, 
needing no preparatory work in the bull 
pen." 

Brown generally beat Mathewson, but 
one time that he didn't do so was June 13, 
1905. Then Big Six held the Cubs hitless 
and won over Mordecai P. C, 1 to 0. 



Brown pitched wonderfully in this game, 
too, for until the ninth he let the McGrawites 
have only one hit. ' Then he weakened and 
four blows gave New York the needed run. 

That no-hit game of Matty's in 1905 was 
his second. On July 15, 1901, Christy held 
the Cardinals hitless and runless. The vic- 
tory should have pleased him, for it was the 
Cards who gave him his first defeat of the 
year after he had won eight in a row. The 
score of that game was 1 to 0, it was played 
•Decoration Day and John Powell was 
Mathewson's vis-a-vis. 

September 4, 1916. closed the major 
league careers (as players) of both Mathew- 
son and Brown. They hooked up in Chicago 
and both were hit freely, Matty winning, 10 
to 8, in a game in which 17 of the runs 
were earned. The score of this game :

EVERYTHING NOT KNOWN 

That the record keepers are ijot thoroughly 
conversant with every page of no-hit litera- 
ture was proved in 1922 after Charley 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



83 



Robertson of the White Sox sent 27 Tigers 
back to the bench without any of them reach- 
ing first base. When a perfect game is 
pitched there is at once thrust before the 
palpitating populace the previous perfor- 
mances of this kin^ and the list printed in 
1922 had on it the name of George Washing- 
ton Bra'dley, who now is a policeman in 
Philadelphia. And the reason Bradley's 
name was on the list of authors of perfect 
games was that the record books have been 
giving him credit for a perfect game that 
wasn't a perfect game. 

It is stated in Balldom, that the first major 
league game, nine innings long, in which a 
pitcher kept all 27 men from reaching first 
base was pitched by J. Lee Richmond of the 
Worcester Nationals against Cleveland in 
1880. That fact is right, even if the date 
given in Balldom (July 12) is wrong. 

Bradley was the first National League 
pitcher to become a no-hit hero, but when* 
he pitched his no-hit game for St. Louis 
against Hartford he passed one man (Tom 
York), and three errors were made behind 
•him. At least one Hartford player, possibly 
two, reached first in this game, which was 
played at St. Louis on July 15, 1876. 

John M. Greene, sporting editor of the 
Hartford Con rant, turned up the score of 
the no-hit game of Bradley's from the files 
of the Courant and it is printed below. The 
introduction to the game would be printed, 
too, only for this reason — there wasn't any 
introduction. The score came over the wire 
alone. Here it is :

ROBERTSON WAS THE FIFTH— 
NOT SIXTH 

So young Mr. Robertson was the' fifth 
author of a flawlessly pitched major league 
game, not the sixth, as every public print 
in the land had it after he had distinguished 
himself against the Tigers. 

The first real, honest-to-goodness no-hit 
hero was J. Lee Richmond of the Worcester 
Nationals ; the second, John Montgomery 
Ward of the Providence Nationals ; the third, 
Denton J. Young of the Boston Americans, 
and the fourth, Adrian C. Joss of the 
Cleveland Americans. 

The scores o^ all four curving classics 
can be found later if Mr. Charles W. Mears 
of Cleveland comes through with that of 
Ward's game. John Montgomery pitched 
his flawless contest five days after Richmond 
pitched his. Richmond won over Cleveland, 
1 to ; Ward over Buffalo, 6 to 0. 

Twenty-four years elapsed before Cy 
l^bung I got into the glory circle. He won 
over the Athletics, 3 to 0, on May 5, 1904, 
in Boston, eight men being retired on strikes, 
ten on fly balls and nine "groundering" out, as 
I. E. Sanborn, former president of the Base- 
ball Writers' Association of America, was 
in the habit of saying, of writing rather. 

Four years later — on October 2, 19()8 — 
Addie Joss of Cleveland let only 27 of the 
White Sox come to bat and won over Ed 
Walsh, 1 to 0, the Big Reel striking out 
15 men in eight innings and still being 
beaten. Cleveland got its run on Birming- 
ham's single. Isbell's wild throw after 
Walsh had caught Joe off first and 
Schreck's passed ball. George Stovall, with 
a star play on John Anderson in the ninth, 
kept Joss in the real no-hit class.

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



Louisville, 8 to 0, striking out three men 
(Justice Harry L. Taylor of New York 
State was one of them) and passing one 
man. He received errorless support. Account 
of this game says : "Browns and Louisville 
closed season, playing two games. In the 
first, Comiskey put in Breitenstein, an ama- 
teur, and he pitched the most remarkable 
game ever played here or in fact anywhere 
else, not a hit being secured off him." 
Breitenstein graduated from the lots of St. 
Louis to the Browns. He used to pitch for 
the Sporting News team in St. Louis. His 
first appearance in fast company was on 
April 28, 1891, when he replaced Jack 
Stivetts in a game against Louisville. The 
Colonels could do nothing with him that day 
and they did less than nothing with him later 
in the season. Hugh Jennings was one of 
the i-ilayers who failed to get a hit. 

GUY HECKER, Louisville— September 
19, 1882, against Pittsburgh. Hecker was 
a right-hander. 

MATTHEW KILROY, Baltimore— Octo- 
ber 6, 1886, at Pittsburgh, Matthew Kilroy, 
left-hander, won over Pittsburgh, Ed Morris 
pitching, G to 0. Kilroy struck out 11 men, 
walked one and four errors were made 
behind him. Certain pundits of the pastime, 
James R. Price, formerly of the New York 
Press among them, always have insisted that 
Kilroy's no-hit game came just after he had 
received a terrible beating from the Pirates, 
but they are wrong, for the day before he 
had held Pittsburgh to two hits in a 5-inning 
3 to 3 tie. Kilroy was born in Philadelphia 
on June 21, 1866. He joined Nashville when 
he was 18 and then went to Baltimore, his 
nickname in the Association being the Phe- 
nomenal Kid. Kilroy's arm went lame after 
he joined the Boston Players' League club in 
1890. Matt was the best man in the country 
at picking men off the bases. It was suicide 
to take a lead of more than a foot off first. 

EDWARD KIMBER, Brooklyn— Octo- 
ber 4, 1884, at Brooklyn, Kimber pitched 
10 hitless and runless innings ag^iinst 
Toledo. Darkness stopped the game just as 
play started in the eleventh. 

EDWARD MORRIS, Columbus— May 29, 
1884, at Pittsburgh, Morris, a left-hander, 
won over Pittsburgh (team called the Alle- 
ghenys), Neagle pitching, 5 to 0, fanning 
seven men, issuing one pass (to Joe Battin, 
third baseman) and getting errorless sup- 
port. No Pittsburgher was left on base. 
The Alleghenys protested vigorously over the 
ball Morris used against them, claiming that 
the overhead delivery was illegal, but Um- 
pire Valentine didn't agree with them 

FRANK H. MOUNTAIN, Columbus- 
June 5, 1884, at Washington, won over 
Washington, Bob Barr pitching, 12 to 0, 



striking out eight men, walking four and 
having three errors made behind him. Just 
a week before Mountain's box associate — 
Ed Morris — had pitched a no-hit game 
against Pittsburgh. Mountain in his great- 
est game, procured a home run. 

ANTHONY J. MULLANE, Louisville- 
September 11, 1882, against Cincinnati. 
Mullane was a right-hander. 

HENRY PORTER, Kansas City— June 
6. 1888, at Baltimore, won over Baltimore, 
Matt Kilroy pitching, 4 to 0, striking out 
one man, walking one and having four errors 
made behind him. Says one who saw this 
game : "Porter Avas particulai'ly steady and 
cautious. No less than 15 fly balls were 
caught. Baltimore had but one man on 
second base and but five on first. Two were, 
left and the others were thrown out." 

EDWARD W. SEWARD, Athletics- 
July 26, 1888, Seward, a right-hander, won 
over Cincinnati. Tony Mullane pitching, 12 
to 2, striking out 6 men. passing four and 
having six errors made behind him. Seward's 
backstop in this game was Wilbert Robinson, 
Brooklyn manager now. Cincinnati's runs, 
scored in the eighth inning, were due to 
errors by Harry Stovey and Brudder Bill 
Gleason. 

WILLIAM H. TERRY. Brooklyn (twice) 
—July 24, 1886, at Brooklyn, Terry, a 
right-hander, won over Dave Foutz of St. 
Louis, 1 to 0, passing two men, striking out 
two and having three errors made behind 
him. Brooklyn's run was scored in the 
eighth by Swartwood who then singled, took 
second on a passed ball and registered on 
Phillips' double. May 27, 1888, at Brooklyn, 
Terry won over Tom Ramsey of Louisville, 
4 to 0, passing two men and striking out 
eight. Brooklyn was charged with six errors 
in this game, Terry having four, Jimmy 
Peoples, his catcher, one, and Bill McClellan, 
second baseman, one. Terry was from West- 
field, Mass., and was the Chicago pitcfier the 
day Ed Delahanty made four home runs in 
one game. 

LEDELL TITCOMB, Rochester— Sep- 
tember 15, 1890, at Rochester, Titcomb a 
left-hander, won over Syracuse, Edward 
Mars pitching, 7 to 0, striking out seven 
men, passing two and having three errors 
made behind him. 

AUGUST P. WEYHING, Athletics- 
July 31, 1888, at Philadelphia, Weyhing, 
a right-hander, won over Kansas City, Sul- 
livan pitching, 4 to 0, striking out five men, 
passing one, hitting one and getting error- 
less support. The men who got on through 
Weyhing's wildness were Monk Cline and 
Cowboy Jim Davis. Weyhing's no-hit game 
came five days after a similar contest by his 
pitching associate, Seward. ' Weyhing and

George Stallings, Rochester manager now, 
formed one of the early toothpick batteries. 
Both were with the Phillies in the spring of 
1887 and both got released shortly after the 
series with the Athletics ended, Weyhing 
joining the Philadelphia Association team 
and Stallings going to Toronto. 

AMERICAN LEAGUE HITLESS 
GAMES— 31 

THE AMERICAN'S HEROES 
(Note — No account is taken of the no-hit 
games pitched in the American League of 
1900, for then it was not and did not claim 
to be a major league.) 

CHARLES ALBERT BENDER, Phila- 
delphia — Bender, a right-hander, won over 
Cleveland, 4 to 0, at Philadelphia on May 
12, 1910, missing a perfect game by passing 
Terry Turner. He fanned four men and 
walked no one except the player who closed 
his American League career known as the 
Aged Albino, receiving perfect support. 

JOSEPH D. BENZ, Chicago— Benz, a 
right-hander, won over Cleveland, Abe Bow- 
man and Fred Blanding, pitching, 6 to 1, at 
Chicago on May 31, 1914. 'He then fanned 
four men and passed two, three errors being 
made behind him. Cleveland's run was 
scored in the fourth by Roy Wood, who 
took two bases on Buck Weaver's wild throw, 
advanced to third on a fielder's choice and 
came in while a double play was being pulled 
ofe. 

LESLIE JOSEPH BUSH, Philadelphia- 
Bush, a right-hander won over Cleveland, 
Stanley Coveleskie and Fred Coumbe pitch- 
ing, 5 to 0, at Philadelphia on August 26, 
1916. A pass to Graney, first Indian batter, 
was the only thing that marred Bush's game, 
as he received perfect support. The previous 
day Bush had been knocked out of the box 
in three innings by the Indians, his come- 
back being as quick as Leonard's against St. 
Louis the same year. , 

RAYMOND B. CALDWELL, Cleveland- 
Caldwell, a right-hander, won over New 
York (his old team), 3 to 0, at New York 
on September 10, 1919. This was the first 
time Caldwell ever had pitched against his 
old team. He began the season of 1919 with 
Boston and was unconditionally released in 
July. Caldwell fanned five men, passed one 
(Hannah) and one (Baker) reached first 
on a fumble by Wambsganss, who made 
Cleveland's only error. Mays opposed Cald- 
well on the mound in this game. 

JAMES J. CALLAHAN, Chicago— Calla- 
han, a right-hander won over Detroit, 3 to 
0, at Chicago on September 20, 1902, fan- 
ning two men, passing two and having one 
error made behind him. 



EDWARD V. CICOTTE, Chicago— 
Cicotte, a right-hander, won over St. Louis 
(Earl Hamilton, Jim Park and Tom Rogers 
pitching), 11 to at St. Louis on" April 14, 
1917, striking out five men, passing three, 
hitting one and having one error made be- 
hind him — a fumble by Gandil that allowed 
Austin to reach first. 

WILLIAM HENRY DINNEEN, Boston 
— Dinneen, a right-hander, won over Chicago 
(Frank Owen pitching), 2 to 0, at Boston 
on September 27, 1905, fanning six men, 
walking two, hitting one and getting perfect 
support. Seventeen of the White Sox were 
retired on easy flies or fouls. Held hitless 
in the first game, the Chicagoans, in the 
second, tore off a flock of safeties and won 
as thev pleased in six innings, 15 to 1. 

GEORGE FOSTER, Boston— Foster, a 
right-hander, won over New York (Bob 
Shawkey pitching), to 2 to at Boston on 
June 21, 1916, fanning three men, passing 
three and getting perfect support. 

ROBERT B. GROOM, St. Louis— Groom, 
a right-hander, won over Chicago (Joe Benz 
pitching), 3 to 0, at St. Louis on May 6, 
1917, in the second game of a double header, 
the White Sox the day before also having 
failed to get a safe blow. Groom fanned four 
men, passed three, hit one and got perfect 
support. 

EARL HAMILTON, St. Louis— Hamil- 
ton, a left-hander, won over Detroit (Jean 
Dubuc pitching), 5 to 1, at Detroit on 
August 30, 1912, the Browns, in their pre- 
vious game against the Tigers, played July 
4th, having failed to get a safety. Hamilton 
walked two men and two errors were made 
behind him. Cobb scored in the fourth on 
a walk, Pratt's boot and a fielder's choice. 

WELDON HENLEY, Philad'elphia— Hen- 
ley, a right-hander, won over St. Louis, 6 
to 0, at St. Louis on July 22, 1905, fanning 
two men, walking three and having one 
error made behind him. 

THOMAS HUGHES II, New York- 
Hughes, a right-hander, pitched 9 and '1-3 
innings of hitless ball against Cleveland 
(George Kahler pitching), at New York on 
August 30, 1910, and was beaten in the 
eleventh, 5 to 0. In the innings in which 
Hughes pitched hitless ball only one man 
reached first — Terry Turner, in the seventh, 
on a wild throw by Jimmy Austin. 

WALTER PERRY JOHNSON, Wash- 
ington — Johnson, a right-hander, won over 
Boston (Harry Harper pitching), 1 to 0, 
at Boston on July 1, 1920, fanning 10 men, 
passing nobody and having one error made 
behind him. That was a boot by Stanley 
Harris on Harry Hooper in the seventh. 
Mike Menoskey later forced the Boston cap- 
tain. Johnson whiffed tw-o pinch hitters — 
Karr and Eibel — in the ninth. The only 



88 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



hard Washington fielding chance was a fly 
catch by Rice on Foster in the fifth. 

ADRIAN C. JOSS, Cleveland (twice) — 
October 2, 1908, at Cleveland, Joss, a right- 
hander, won over Chicago, Ed Walsh pitch- 
ing, 1 to 0, not one of the White Sox reach- 
ing first. This game alluded to previously 
and score printed. Joss's second appearance 
in the Pitchers' Hall of Fame came on April 
20, 1910, in Chicago, when he won over the 
White Sox, Guy Harris White pitching, 1 
to 0, fanning two men, passing two and 
having one error made behind him. Fred 
Parent was the Chicago player who bene- 
fitted by the Cleveland mistake — a fumble 
by Third Baseman Bill Bradley — and at 
first that was called a hit for Parent. 

ERNEST KOOB.. St. Louis— Koob a left- 
hander, won over 'Chicago (Eddie Cicotte 
pitching), 1 to 0, at St. Louis on May 5, 
1917, fanning two men, passing five and 
having two errors made behind him. This 
no-hit game was a tainted affair, a hit given 
to Weaver in the first inning being changed 
to an error for Austin after the ofiicial scorer 
(a noble critic) had arrived at the ball yard. 
The official scorer wasn't there when the 
play was made. All the other scribes, home 
and visiting, gave the ball hit by Weaver as 
a hit. 

HUBERT B. LEONARD, Boston (twice) 
— August 30, 1916, at Boston, Leonard, a 
left-hander, won over St. Louis, Carl Weil- 
man pitching, 4 to 0, fanning three men, 
passing two and getting errorless support. 
Leonard, the previous day, had lasted less 
than an inning against the' Browns. Like 
Joss, Leonard pitched his second no-hit game 
away from home, subduing Detroit, George 
Dauss and George Cunningham pitching, 5 
to 0, at Detroit, on June 3, 1918. Leonard 
then fanned four men and walked one, a 
pass to Bob Veach preventing him from hurl- 
ing a perfect game, as he received perfect 
support. 

GEORGE MOGRIDGE, New York— Mog- 
ridge a left-hander, won over Boston (Hub 
Leonard pitching), 2 to 1, at Boston on 
April 24, 1917, striking out three men, pass- 
ing three and having three errors made be- 
hind him. Walsh's sacrifice fly in the sev- 
enth scored Boston's only run, Barry cross- 
ing the plate after having walked and gone 
to third on a couple of errors. 

EARL L. MOORE, Cleveland— Moore, a 
right-hander, pitched nine hitless innings 
against Chicago at Cleveland on May 9, 
1901, and was beaten in the tenth, 4 to 2, 
the White Sox then making two singles. 
Chicago's earlier runs came from errors and 

pRSSGS 

GEORGE J. MULLIN, Detroit— Mullin, 
a right-hander, won over St. Louis (Adams, 
Earl Hamilton and Roy Mitchell pitching), 



7 to 0, at Detroit on July 4, 1912, (after- 
noon game), fanning five men, passing five 
and having one error made behind him — a 
fumble by George Moriarty, third baseman, 
now an American League umpire. Mullin 
pitched this no-hit game on his birthday. 
Jack Warhop acted in the same manner 
when he was in the Wisconsin-Illinois 
League. The next time the Tigers and the 
Browns met, Hamilton hurled a no-hit game 
against the Jungleites. 

ROBERT B. RHOADES, Cleveland— 
Rhoades, a right-hander, won over Boston, 
2 to 1, at Cleveland on September 18, 1908, 
fanning two men then, walking two, hitting 
one and having two errors made behind him. 

JAMES SCOTT, Chicago— Scott, a right- 
hander, pitched nine innings of hitless and 
runless ball against Washington at Wash- 
ington on May 14, 1914, and lost out in the 
tenth. 1 to 0. to Yancey Ayers. Chic Gandil 
opened the tenth by singling and Howard 
Shanks doubled him home instantly. Scott 
fanned two men and passed two, and three 
errors were made behind him. 

ERNEST SHORE, Boston— Babe Ruth 
had a run-in with Umpire Brick Owen in 
the first inning at Washington on June 23, 
1917, after Ray* Morgan had been awarded 
a pass, made a pass at him and was put out 
of the game. Manager Jack Barry put 
Ernest Shore, right-hander, in to finish the 
game and he finished it so capably that no 
one reached first. Morgan, who was on 
when Shore went in, attempted to steal 
second and was killed off. Shore struck out 
two men. American League officials de- 
clared that Shore deserved a place along 
with Ward. Young, Joss and Richmond, but 
he never has received it. Ayers pitched 
against Shore. The score was 4 to 0. 

FRANK ELMER SMITH, .Chicago 
(twice) — Smith, a right-hander, and an ex- 
ponent of the spit ball, won over Detroit, at 
Detroit, on September 6, 1905, 15 to 0. then 
fanning eight men, walking three and get- 
ting perfect support. His second no-hit game 
was reeled off in Chicago on September 20, 
1908, against Philadelphia, the score of this 
game being 1 to 0. Smith then fanned two 
men, walked one and one error was made 
behind him. 

JESSE NILES TANNEHILL, Boston— 
Tannehill. a left-hander, won over Chicago, 
6 to 0. at Chicago on August 17, 1904. then 
fanning four men. walking one and hitting 
one. He received perfect suiDport. 

EDWARD ARMSTRONG WALSH. Chi- 
cago — Walsh, a right-hander, won over Bos- 
ton (Ray Collins pitching) 5 to 0, at Chicago 
on August 27, 1911, then fanning eight men 
and passing one — Clyde Engle. He received 
perfect support. Walsh drew $60 a month 
when he first started to play professional

ball, with the Wilkes-Barre club of the 
Pennsylvania State League in 1902, that 
club being managed by Ernest C. Landgraf, 
president and owner of the Syracuse Inter- 
nationals now. Williamsport offered to buy 
Walsh for $500. Landgraf spurned the offer, 
then rain set in, there was a strike of the 
coal miners and the Pennsylvania State 
League blew up. Another famous pitcher 
who started in that league was George 
Leroy Wiltse, now managing Buffalo. 

JOSEPH WOOD, Boston— Wood, a right- 
hander, won over St. Louis (Joe Lake pitch- 
ing), 5 to 0, at Boston on July 29, 1911, 
then fanning 12 men, walking two (Lake 
and Hogan), hitting one (Hogan) and get- 
ting errorless support. 

DENTON J. YOUNG, Boston (twice) — 
Young, a right-hander, retired Philadelphia 
without a man reaching first base at Boston 
on May 5, 1904, this game being alluded to 
previously and score printed. Like Joss and 
Leonard, Cy hurled his second no-hit game 
away from home, winning over the Yankees, 
8 to 0, at New York on June 30, 1908. All 
that prevented Young from duplicating his 
perfect game against the Athletics then was 
a pass issued to Harry Niles, the first New 
York batter, the count being two and three 
before the deciding ball was pitched. Niles 
was immediately potted stealing by Lou 
Criger and thereafter no Yankee reached 
first. In this game Gavvy Cravath and 
Heinie Wagner, left fielding and shortstop- 
ping respectively for Boston, fielded wonder- 
fully. Young fanned two men, walked one 
and got air-tight support. 

FEDERAL LEAGUE'S HITLESS

THE HEROES 

FRANK L. ALLEN, Pittsburgh— Allen, 
a left-hander, won over St. Louis (Robert

Ford, inventor of the emery ball, pitching), 

5 to 0, at Buffalo on August 16, 1915, then

two errors made behind him. Another 
tainted no-hit game. A hit originally given 
to Walter Blair was transformed into an 
error for John Rawlings after the official 
scorer had talked to Umpires Bill Brennan 
and Tom Corcoran and to Kansas City 
players.

JOHN G. CLARKSON, Chicago— Clark- 
son, a right-hander, retired Providence with- 
out a run or hit at Providence on July 27, 
1885, the score of this game being 4 to 0. 
In it Clarkson fanned four men and five 
errors were made behind him. 

HUGH DAILY, Cleveland— Daily, a 
right-hander (a one-armed right-hander, at 
that), retired Philadelphia without a hit or 
run at Philadelphia on September 13, 1883, 
then winning over John Coleman, 1 to 0. 
Daily fanned two men. passed three and two 
errors were made behind him. An account 
of this game says that the ground at Recrea- 
tion Park was in a "wretchedly soggy con- 
dition and this soon made the ball so mushy 
it was impossible to hit it effectivelv." 

GEORGE A. DAVIS, Boston— Davis, a 
right-handei** who had failed in the American 
League with New York, retired Philadelphia 
without a hit or run. at Boston on September 
9, 1914. Tincup, Rixey and Oeschger pitch- 
ing against him. Davis fanned four men, 
passed five and two errors were made behind 
him, both by Third Baseman J. Carlisle 
Smith. The score was 7 to 0. 

FRANK L. DONAHUE, Philadelphia- 
Donahue, a right-hander, retired Boston 
without a hit or run at Philadelphia on 
July 8, 1898, and won over Vic Willis, 5 
to 0, passing two men, striking out one and 
having two errors made behind him. Dona- 



hue was a very good hot weather pferformer. 
The day he pitched his no-hit game it was 
terribly hot. 

MALCOLM WAYNE EASON, Brooklyn 
— Eason, a right-hander, retired St. Louis 
without a hit or inin at St. Louis on July 
20, 1906. The score of this game was 2 to

Eller, a right-hander and an American 
League discard, retired St. Louis without a 
hit or run at Cincinnati on May 11, 1919, 
winning over Frank Spruell (Jake) May, 
6 to 0. Eller got perfect support, fanned 
eight men and passed three. Two of the 
three Cardinals walked were caught stealing 
by Catcher Rariden, and the reason the 
other wasn't nailed was that one of the 
thefts launched had two runners in it. 

CHARLES FERGUSON, Philadelphia- 
Ferguson, a right-hander, retired Providence 
without a hit or run at Philadelphia on 
August 29, 1885. then winning over Dupee 
Shaw, 1 to 0. Ferguson fanned eight men, 
walked two and six errors were made behind 
him. Ferguson was a wonderful infielder 
as well as a great pitcher. He died of 
typhoid at Philadelphia in 1888 after having 
d.emonstrated great ability as a second base- 
man the previous season. 

CHARLES C. ERASER, Philadelphia- 
Eraser, a right-hander, retired Chicago with-

cinnati — Hahn, a left-hander, retired Phila- 
delphia (then the hardest • hitting team in 
the country), without a hit or run at Cin- 
cinnati on July 12, 1900. winning, over

men. Ed Delahanty, and Elmer Flick each 
whiffing twice, and walked three, one of 
these on a casualty pass. One error was 
made behind him, ' The next day the Phillies, 
in Pittsburgh, made 24 hits, recovering their 
batting eves extremely quickly. 

WILLIAM V. HAWKE. Baltimore— 
Hawke, a right-hander, retired Washington 
without a hit or run at Washington on 
August 10, 1893, then winning over George 
Stephens, 5 to 0, in a game in which he got 
perfect support, fanned six men and walked 
two. This game started the fans of the 
country, being the first no-hit game under 
th^ new pitching rules. Hawke was a St. 
Louis discard. He died a couple of years 
later of tuberculosis. 

JAY (or JAMES) HUGHES, Baltimore 
— Hughes, a right-hander, retired Boston 
without a hit or run at Baltimore on April 
22, 1898, Theodore Breitenstein of Cincinnati

being a no-hit hero the same day. This was 
the second National League game for 
Hughes. In his first, against Washington, 
on April- 18th, he had blanked the Senators, 
9 to 0, and dispersed them with two singles. 
In his no-hit game against Boston, Hughes, 
opposed by Ted Jiewis, fanned three men, 
walked three and three errors were made be- 
hind him. Hughes was a discovery of Hugh 
Jennings's, the present Giant having seen 
him in action on the Coast in the fall of 
1897. 

THOMAS J. HUGHES II, Boston- 
Hughes, a right-hander, and an American 
League discard, retired Pittsburgh (Erwin 
Kantlehner and Robert Harmon pitching), 
without a hit or run at Boston on June 16, 
• 1916, then winning 2 to 0. He had the 
Pirates hitting in the air most of the time, 
the Braves having only three assists. 
Hughes closed the game by fanning Hans 
Wagner for the second time. 

CHARLES L. (BUMPUS) JONES, Cin- 
cinnati — Jones, who belonged to the Atlanta 
club, retired Pittsburgh without a hit at 
Cincinnati on October 15, 1892, the Pirates 
being beaten 7 to 1. Jones fanned one man, 
hit one and walked three. This was the only 
good game Jones ever pitched for the Reds. 
He was one of their greatest flivvers. 

JAMES SANFORD LAVENDER, Chi- 
cago — Lavender, a right-hander, retired New 
York without a hit or run at New York on 
August 31, 1915, winning over Rube Schauer, 
2 to 0, in a game in which he fanned eight 
men ancf walked one. One error was made 
behind him. Lavender was a Giant Nemesis 
for a long time. He stopped Rube Marquard 
after that left-hander had won 19 in a row 
in 1912. 

THOMAS JOSEPH LOVETT, Brooklyn 
— Lovett, a right-hander, retired New York 
without a hit or run at Brooklyn on June 
22, 1891, and won, 4 to 0, in a game in 
which he fanned four men and passed three. 
His support was perfect. 

JOHN C. LUSH, Philadelphia— Lush, a 
left-hander, retired Brooklyn without a hit 
or run at Brooklyn on May 1, 1906, then 
fanning 11 men and passing three. One 
error was made behind him, 

NICHOLAS MADDOX, Pittsburgh— 
Maddox, a right-hander, retired Brooklyn 
without a hit at Pittsburgh on September 
20, 1907, the Superbas scoring once in this 
game and being beaten, 2 to 1. Maddox 
fanned five men, hit one, walked three and 
two errors were made behind him. Maddox 
had only been in the National League briefly 
when he entered the ranks of the nO-hit 
heroes. 

RICHARD W. MARQUARD, New York 
—Marquard, a left-hander, retired Brooklyn 
without a hit or run at New York on April 



15, 1915, in his first game of the year, then 
winning over Nap Rucker, 2 to 0. Mar- 
quard fanned two men and walked two. One 
error was made behind him. That same 
season New York intended to send Marquard 
to the International League, Brooklyn step- 
ping in and claiming him on waivers. 

HARRY M. McINTIRE, Brooklyn— 
Mclntire, a right-hander, pitched 10 innings 
of hitless ball against Pittsburgh at Brook- 
lyn on August 1, 1906, and lost in the thir- 
teenth, 1 to 0, the game's run resulting from 
Ganley's single, Wagner's double and 
Nealon's single. 

FRANK XAVIER PFEFFER, Boston— 
PfefEer, a right-hander and a brother of 
Edward J. Pfeffer, now of the St. Louis 
Cardinals, retired Cincinnati without a hit

at Cleveland on July 25, 1883, winning 8 to 
0. One error was made behind the Iron 
Man and he fanned six men, walking nobody. 

J. LEE RICHMOND, Worcester— Rich- 
mond, a left-hander, pitched the first perfect 
game in the National League against Cleve- 
land on June 12, 1880, and the game is com- 
mented on elsewhere and the score is also 
printed elsewhere. 

GEORGE NAPOLEON RUCKER, 
Brooklyn — Rucker, a left-hander, retired 
Boston without a hit or run at Brooklyn on 
September 5, 1908, winning over Pat 
Flaherty, now a Cleveland scout, 6 to 0. 
Rucker fanned 14 men in this game, three 
errors were made behind him and he passed 
nobody.' He was responsible for the retire- 
ment of 17 of his adversaries. 

AMOS W. RUSIE, New York— Rusie, a 
right-hander, retired Brooklyn without a hit 
of run at New York on July 31, 1891, and^ 
won his game, 6 to 0, fanning four men, 
passing eight, hitting one and having one 
error made behind him. Rusie now works 
for the Giants at the Polo Grounds. He was 
one of the world's speediest pitchers. 

A. B. SANDERS, Louisville— Sanders, a 
right-hander, wasn't a no-hit hero, according 
to the official scorer of the game between 
Louisville and Baltimore, played at Louis- 
ville on August 22, 1892, and won by the 
Colonels, 6 to 2. ' The O. S. said that 
Voiceless Tim O'Rourke's grounder to 



92 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



Bassett, which the last named fumbled, was 
a hit, the other scorers said it was an error. 
Sanders passed three men and four errors 
were made behind him. He is said to hold 
the world's record for pitching the smallest 
number of balls in a nine inning game. 
Nobody knows just what this record is. 

JOHN E. STIVETTS, Boston— Stivetts, 
a right-hander, retired Brooklyn without a 
hit or run at Brooklyn on August 6, 1892, 
the score- of this game being 11 to 0. 
Stivetts then fanned six men, passed five 
and three errors were made behind him. 

CHARLES MUNROE TESREAU, New 
York — Tesreau, a right-hander, now baseball 
coach at Dartmouth, received credit for a 
no-hit game over Philadelphia at Philadel- 
phia on September 6, 1912, when the Quakers 
were beaten 3 to 0. This no-hit game is 
slightly tainted,^ as in the middle of the 
game one of the Phillies apparently made 
an infield single. It was so recorded, any- 
how, and when no hits developed later the 
New York war correspondents, Sid Mercer 
and Walter Trumbull among them, induced 
the Philadelphia official scorer, Stoney 
McLinn, to change the hit to an error — at 
least that is the tale. Tesreau struck out 
two men, walked two and two errors were 
made behind him. 

WALTER THORNTON, Chicago- 
Thornton retired Brooklyn without a hit or 
run at Chicago on August 21, 1898. winning 
over Bill Kennedy, 2 to 0. He received per- 
fect support, fanned three men and walked 
the same number. Chicago only had five 
assists in this game. 

FRED TONEY, Cincinnati — Touey, a 
right-hander, retired Chicago without a hit 
or run in a ten-inning game at Chicago on 
May 2, 1917, this game being commented 
on previously and the score being printed 
elsewhere. 

JAMES L. VAUGHN, Chicago— Vaughn, 
a left-hander, pitched nine innings of hitless 
and runless ball against Cincinnati at 
Chicago on May 2, 1917, this game being 
commented on previously and the score being 
printed elsewhere. 

JOHN MONTGOMERY WARD, Provi- 
dence — Ward, a right-hander, pitched a per- 
fect game against Buffalo at Providence on 
June 17, 1880, this game being commented 
on previously and the score being printed 
elsewhere. 

ROBERT k. WICKER, Chicago— Wicker, 
a right-hander, pitched nine hitless and run- 
less innings at New York against the Giants 
on June 11, 1904, and won over them in 12 
innings, 1 to 0. Sam Mertes saved the 
McGrawites from hitless defeat by singling 
in the tenth. In the game Wicker struck 
out ten men and passed ' one. His pitching 
rival was Joe McGinnity, who then stubbed 



his toe after having won 14 games in a 
row. Two errors were made behind Wicker 
in this classic. 

VICTOR G. WILLIS, Boston— Willis, a 
right-hander, retired Washington without a 
hit at Boston on August 7, 1899, but the 
Senators then scored a tun, being beaten, 
7 to 1. William Henry Dinneen, American 
League umpire now, pitched for them. 
Three errors were made behind Willis in 
this game, he fanned five men, passed four 
and hit one. 

GEORGE LEROY WILTSE. New York 
— Wiltse, a left-hander, now manager of 
the Buffalo Internationals, retired Philadel- 
phia without hit or run for ten innings at 
New York on the morning of July 4, 1908, 
and then won over George Washington Mc- 
Quillan, 1 to 0. Wiltse would have gotten 
into the small class of perfect pitchers if he 
had not hit George McQuillan, 27th man 
at bat, in the arm with a pitched ball in 
the ninth after he had two strikes on him. 

DENTON J. YOUNG. Cleveland— Young, 
a right-hander, retired Cincinnati without 
a hit or run at Cleveland on September 18, 
1897, and then won over Billy Rhines. the 
Carl Mays of that time. 6 to 0. Three 
errors were made behind Young in this game, 
he fanned three men and he passed one. The 
only thing that looked like a hit was a 
grounder of Holliday's to Rhody Wallace. 
Wallace made a fine stop of this and then 
threw wild. It was charged as an error. 

NO-HITLESS GAME IN PLAYERS' 
LEAGUE 

NO HERO 
CHARLES KING. Chicago- King, a right- 
hander, is given credit for pitching a no-hit 
game against Brooklyn at Chicago on June 
21. 1890. but this game found King pitching 
only eight innings and so should not be 
classed as a no-hit affair. The reason King 
did not go the full nine innings was that 
Brooklyn, the team that batted last, scored 
a run in the eighth and so it was not neces- 
sary to play the ninth, as Chicago had not 
sroi'ed. Seven errors were made behind 
King, he fanned two and he walked three.

without a hit or run at Milwaukee on Sep- 
tember 28, 1884, winning over Abner Powell. 
5 to 0. Cushman fanned 12 men and walked 
one. 

CHARLES GAGUS, Washington— Gagus 
retired Wilmington without a hit at Wash- 
ington on August 21, 1884, winning over 
McElroy, 12 to 1. Gagus fanned 13 men, 
walked three and one error was made behind 
him. 

BOSTON SCENE OF LONG GAMES 

Boston is the favorite major league city 
for extended games, the longest in the Amer- 
ican and in the National having been played 
there. These were, respectively, 24 and 26 
innings ; the game in the American was de- 
cided, that in the National wasn't. 

Brooklyn clashed with Boston in the 26 
inning game, played at Braves' Field on May 
1, 1920, hostilities ceasing with each team 
possessed of a run. Joe Oeschger and Leon 
Cadore worked all through for the contest- 
ants, the Bostonian pitching runless ball for 
21 innings and the Brooklynite for 20. 

In the 24 inning game of September 1, 
1906, played at the old Huntington Avenue 
grounds between the- Athletics and the Red 
Sox, and won by the first named, 4 to 1. 
two pitchers also did all the work, John 
Wesley Coombs, who had entered the Amer- 
ican League only a couple of months previ- 
ously, operating for the winners and Joe 
Harris for the losers. Harris never pitched 
a good game after this. Coombs pitched a 
flock of them. 

Harris cracked under the strain in the 
24th after having denied the Mackmen a 
run since the third. One out then, Topsy 
Hartsel singled and stole second as Bris 
Lord whiffed. Schreck singled Hartsel in 
and Socks Seybold and Danny Murphy fol- 
lowed with triples, good for two more 
runs. 

For the next two days all Coombs could 
handle in the way of food was beef tea. The 
scores of these two classics :

ANOTHER LONG ONE FOR JACK 

Another long game in which Coombs was 
involved was that at Chicago on August 4, 
1910, Ed Walsh pitching against him and 
neither the Athletics or the White Sox 
being able to get a run in 16 innings. Coombs 
allowed three hits to Walsh's 6 and fanned 
18 men to the present umpire's 10. 

It was in 1910 that Coombs, graduate of 
Colby College, hung up the American League 
record for shutout games, pitching 13 of these. 
Six years later Grover Cleveland Alexander 
established the National League record for 
contests of this character, beating Coomb's 
record by three. Alexander, at the time, was 
with the Phillies. 

LONGEST RUNLESS GAME— 
18 INNINGS 

The longest major league game without 
runs was two sessions longer than the battle 
between Walsh and Coombs in 1910 and was 
played in Detroit on July 16th of the previous 
year between Detroit and Washington. Oren 
Edgar Summers pitched the whole game for 
the Tigers. William Denton Gray, left-hander, 
and Robert Groom, right-hander, divided the 
box work for the Senators. Washington made 
seven hits, Detroit six. 

Gray, called Dolly Gray, owns the most 
peculiar one-hit game on record, pitched for 
Washington against Chicago, at Chicago, on 
August 28, 1909. This game the southpaw 
lost, 6 to 4, because in the second he gave 
eight bases on balls, seven of these in suc- 
cession, after Patrick Henry Dougherty 
bounced a single over Bob Unglaub's head 
for the White Socks' lone swat. Chicago 
then made all six of its runs. 

LONGEST i"""to' GAMES— ALSO 
18 INNINGS 

The longest 1 to games in the major 
leagues also have lasted 18 innings. Provi- 
dence won a contest of this type from Detroit 
at Providence on August 17, 1882, John 
Montgomery Ward pitching against George 
Weidman. Charles Radbourne. playing right 
field for the Clam Diggers, decided the con- 
test with a home run. He was the first 
batter in the eighteenth. Ward allowed nine 
hits and fanned four men, Weidman yielded 
seven blows and fanned half a dozen of his 
opponents. 

The Providence and Detroit of the Amer- 
ican League just now, are, respectively, 



Washington and Chicago. On May 15, 1918, 
these two teams duplicated the National 
League contest of 36 years earlier, Walter 
Johnson winning over Claude Williams, left- 
hander. Ainsmith and Johnson singled in the 
eighteenth and Williams, with Shotten bat- 
ting, then made a wild pitch letting Sir 
Walter's catcher score. 

JOHNSON BEGAN IN 1907 

WALTER PERRY JOHNSON, one of the 
pitching immortals, began his American 
League career on August 2, 1907, when he 
pitched eight innings against Detroit at 
Washington, the score of the game in which 
he made his debut being 2 to 1 when he left 
it, to be replaced by Tom Hughes I. The 
Tigers had the two, the Senators the one. 
The final score was 3 to 2, with Detroit on 
the long end. Johnson allowed six hits, 
fanned three men and walked one. He 
reached the American League 17 days in 
advance, of Jesse Clyde Milan, his present 
manager. 

Johnson owns a flock of American League 
records. He pitched 56 consecutive runless 
innings from April 10 to May 15, 1913, St. 
Louis stopping his issuance of ciphers. 

The Browns also stopped Johnson when he 
went after his seventeenth straight victory in 
1912. Starting on July 3rd. the Idaho phenom 
won 16 games in a row, his last victory being 
over Detroit on August 23rd. by a score of 8 
to 1. On August 26th, in the seventh inning 
of a game with St. Louis, Johnson took 
Hughes' place on the rubber with the score 
tied and with two men on the bases. Both 
scored and St, Louis won the game. Presi- 
dent Johnson of the American League ruled 
Johnson lost this game, everybody else said 
he didn't. 

The decision of B. B. Johnson's didn't mat- 
ter for the next time out for the Washington 
star. August 28th, St Louis, with Jack Powell 
pitching, won from him. 3 to 2. Johnson, 
in this defeat, fanned 12 men and allowed 
four hits. He was wild, however, and was 
poorly supported. 

Joseph Wood, with Cleveland now and 
with Boston then, also won 16 games in suc- 
cession in 1912. His string of successes be- 
gan July 8th and continued until September 
15th, the Browns being the last team he de- 
feated and 2 to 1 being the score of that 
game. 

Wood was stopped by the Tigers at Detroit 
on September 20th, Tex Covington and Joe 
Lake winning against him. 6 to 4, in a game 
in which Smoky Joe allowed seven hits and 
passed five men — Boston got only four blows 
— one off Covington, left-hander, and three off 
Lake, right-hander.

MARQUARD CREDITED WITH 19* 
STRAIGHT 

Richard W. Marquard, left-handed pitcher 
of the Giants, the year the Washington and 
Detroit right-handers were capturing 16 con- 
tests in succession, was credited with win- 
ning 19 games in a row, but in five of these, 
other boxmen were associated with him and 
his record does not compare with an earlier 
one of Tim Keefe's. 

Marquard's string began April 11th and 
continued until July 3rd. On July 8th, he 
pitched against James Sanford Lavender of 
the Cubs in Chicago and that exponent of the 
spit-ball beat him, 7 to 2, Marquard being 
relieved at the end of the sixth, when the 
score was 6 to 2 in the Cubs' favor. Mar- 
quard, in this game yielded eight hits and 
passed seven men. 

TIM KEEFE DID WIN 19 STRAIGHT 

A National League pitcher who did win 19 
straight games was Timothy Keefe, right- 
hander of the 'Giants, ip 1888 — -June 2ord to 
August 10th, inclusive. On August 14th he 
y<vent against the team that Hoodoed Mar- 
y quard, and Gus Krock, a right-hander, beat 
him, 4 to 2, the Ansonites making five hits 
olf Sir Timothy. Krock was a wonderful 
minor league pitcher, but he did little in the 
majors. 

OTHER. STREAKS 

Here are some of the other famous winning 
streaks of major league boxmen : 

CHARLES RADBOURNE, Providence 
J^ationals, 1884 — Won 18 straight, August 

/7th to September 6th, inclusive, Buffalo, with 
Jim Galvin pitching, stopping him on Sep- 
tember 9th, 2 to 0. 

MICHAEL WELCH, New York Nationals, 
1885— Won 17 straight, July 18th to Sep- 

/tember 4th, inclusive, Philadelphia, . with 
Charley Ferguson pitching, stopping him 
on Steptember 5th, 3 to 1. 

^ JOHN P. LUBY, Chicago Nationals, 1890 
— Won 17 straight, August 6th to October 
3rd, inclusive. Not stopped, but beaten in his 
first game of the succeeding year by Pitts- 
burgh. 

JAMES Mccormick, Chicago Nationals, 
V1886— Won 16 straight, May 5th to July 1st, 
inclusive. New York, with Mickey Welch 
pitching, stopping him on July 3rd, 7 to 3. 

In the American Association, in 1888, two 
young pitchers — Mickey Hughes of Brooklyn 
and Leon Viau of Cincinnati — each went 



along unbeaten from the start of the season 
until June 1st and then the pair hooked up 
In Brooklyn, Hughes winning 3 to 1. In his 
next game Hughes was defeated. 

GIANTS' 26 STRAIGHT THE BEST 

New York's Giants, finishing fourth in 
1916, established the major league record 
for consecutive victories, that being 26. The 
McGrawites began this string of successes o'n 
September 7th and after winning the first 
game of a double header on September 30th 
from the Braves ,lost the second, 8 to 3. George 
Albert Tyler, left bander, pitched for Boston 
in this game ; Harry Franklin Sallee, another 
southpaw, hurled for New York until batted 
out of the box in the seventh, J. Carlisle 
Smith and Sherwood Magee then making 
home runs. 

The Giants' record of 26 straight shoved 
into the discard the exploit of the Providence 
team of 1884 in capturing 20 in a row, Buf- 
falo, with Jim Galvin on the rubber, stopping 
the^-rays on September 9th, 2 to 0. 

The White Sox, in 1916, created Ameri- 
can League history by winning 19 -in a row, 
their triumphant career beginning on 
August 2nd and continuing until August 24th. 
On August 23rd, Chicago won over Wash- 
ington, 4 to 1. It rained on August 24th and 
On August 25th the Sox dropped both ends 
of a double header to Washington. The score 
of the game in which Fielder Allison Jones' 
Hitless Wonders were stopped was 5 to 4, 
Washington going into the ninth two runs 
behind. They got these two and one more 
off Ed Walsh, who had relieved Frank Pad- 
erewski Smith in the seventh. Another mem- 
ber of the Smith family — Charles — was the 
winning pitcher in this controversy. He 
took the place of Tom Hughes I in the third 
inning, when the score was 3 to against 
Washington. 

RECORD ABSOLUTELY UNLIKE 
NEW YORK'S 

The Louisville American Association team 
of 1889 made a record absolutely unlike the 
New York National League team's record 
of 1916, when it pieced together 26 victories 
in succession. The Colonels of 27 years be- 
fore dropped 26 in a row, their career of 
crime ending on June 23rd, when Tom Ram- 
sey, left-hander, won over the St. Louis 
Browns, for whom Elton Chamberlain and 
Nat Hudson did the pitching, by a score • 
of 7 to 3.

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



ONE OF THE WORLD'S WORST BALL 
CLUBS 

One of the world's worst ball clubs was the 
Pittsburgh National League team of 1890. 
It succeeded in dropping 23 contests in a row, 
including three in one day to Brooklyn on 
September 1st. On September 2nd the Pir- 
ates were beaten again by Brooklyn. 5 to 4. 
but two days later, with Yarney Anderson 
y pitching against Ed Beatin, they won over 
Cleveland 6 to 2, their win startling the 
country. The Pirates of 1890 hold the Na- 
tional League record for consecutive wal- 
lopings. 

The American League record for suc- 
cessive reverses — 20 — is jointlv owned by the 
Red Sox of 1906 and the Athletics of 1916. 
Jesse Tannehill, left-hander, stopped Bos- 
ton's run of misfortune by winning over 
Chicago ; Leslie Joseph Bush, right-hander, 
ended Philadelphia's most unsuccessful streak 
by winning over Detroit. 

KEELER HIT SAFELY IN 44 
STRAIGHT GAMES 

Histories of streaks would not be complete 
without some mention of the work of William 
H. Keeler of the Baltimore Nationals, 
who, in 1897, made one or more hits in 44 
consecutive games. The pitcher who stopped 
him was Frank B. Killen. a left-hander, 
of Pittsburgh, and the date he did so was 
June 19th, Baltimore then being beaten by 
a score of 7 to 1. 

Tyrus Raymond Cobb, in 1911. came within 
four games of Keeler's 1897 mark, Ed Walsh 
being his Killen and the date he was stopped 
being July 3rd. 

TYRUS' S FIRST GAME 

In his little book. The Baselall Bat Bag. 
Al Munro Elias gives Billy Keeler's record 
for consecutive hitting and also gives a lot 
of information about Tyrus Raymond Cobb, 
about the only thing he doesn't give being 
certain information as to the Peach's first 
game in professional ball. That was played 
on April 26. 1904. at Augusta, Ga., for 
the Augusta club of the South Atlantic Lea- 
gue against Columbia. In it, batting against 
Engel. whom Ty thinks was from the Coast, 
. Cobb made a double and home run. He 
played one more game with the Georgians 
and then their manager inserted an ad in 
the Sporting Life that he desired a hard 
hitting outfielder. Said manager had rid- 
den Ty so hard he vowed he never would re- 
• turn to Augusta ' until said manager had 
deserted that city and he kept his word. 



for when the Peach returned to Augusta, 
Con Struthers had vanished. 

Cobb went to Anniston and a scribe there, 
thinking that an Atlanta paper would be in- 
terested in the wonderful work of Anniston's 
new player, wired 300 words about him. The 
hard hearted sporting editor of the Atlanta 
paper turned the telegram back on its sender 
and he had to pay the tolls. 

That hard hearted sporting editor got into 
the majors, too. and is still there. He was 
H. Grantland Rice. 

This is the score of the Peach's first game 
in professional ball :

ONLY TWO HUNDRED SAW RUTH 
BREAK IN 

When George Herman Ruth, possible home 
run King of All Time played his first cham- 
pionshir) game, said game was attended by 
only 200 fans. That game was played in 
Baitimore on April 22. 1914, between the 
Baltimore and Buffalo International League 
clubs, the reason the attendance wasn't larger 
being that the Ints at that time had Fedei-al 
League competition. 

Ruth, in his first championship game, 
pitched Baltimore to a 6 to victory over 
Buffalo, giving four hits, fanning four men. 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



97 



walking the same number, hitting one man 
and malting one wild pitch. 

The first pitcher Ruth batted against in 
a championship game (he previously, on the 
spring trip, had batted against major league 
pitchers) was George McConnell, right- 
hander, once of the New York Americans 
and Chicago Federals and Nationals. The 
Babe got two singles off Tall George, but 
neither counted in Baltimore's scoring. Also, 
just to show he was a pitcher, Ruth struck 
out once. The other time up he grounded 
to short. 

Posterity may want the box score of Babe 
Ruth's first championship game. Here it is :

NEAL BALL PLAYED SECOND 

Baltimore's second baseman, the day Ruth 
pitched his first International League game, 
was Neal Ball, the first major leaguer to 
make an unassisted triple play. Neal did 
this when he was a member of the Cleveland 
Indians, at Cleveland, on July 19. 1909. 
against the Boston Red Sox, for whom he 
played later. Ambrose McConnell. a diminu- 
tive second baseman, who began his Ameri- 



can League career with Boston and finished 
it with Chicago, hit into this triple massacre. 

Paul M. Hines, Providence outfielder, is 
frequently given credit for having made a 
triple play all by his lonesome on May S, 
1878, but the late William M. Rankin, who 
investigated this performance, listed it among 
the phantom performances — and that is 
probably where it belongs. 

William A. Wambsganss. second baseman 
of the Indians, also made an unassisted triple 
play 11 years after Neal Ball did. getting 
his on October 10, 1920. in a world's cham-' 
pionship game with Brooklyn. 

Quite a few minor leaguers have made 
unassisted triple plays, but one that the 
Spalding Record Book does not mention was 
that made by shortstop Walter Keating of 
the Buffalo Internationals against Akron in 
1920. Keating, now with Syracuse, is not 
peeved over the matter of his omission from 
the Minor League Hall of Fame. "Guess I'll 
have to make another one," was his comment 
when he looked over the Little Red Book and 
found his name wasn't there. 

MR. FAN NOT INTERESTED 

Mr. Fan does not seem to be much inter- 
ested in the defensive end of the game, ex- 
cept so far as that end is supplied by the 
pitchers. The fielding records have not been 
as carefully combed as the batting statistics 
and there ■ aren't many persons who can say 
with authority that So and So is a fielding 
top liner. 

Possibly Miller Huggins. manager of the 
New York Amei*icans now, set an American 
Association record when he was playing 
second for St. Paul against Louisville on 
September 17, 1902; possibly he didn't. Any- 
way, that day Huggins, who played in the 
old Inter- State Leiague under the alias of 
Proctor, had 19 chances (11 putouts and 8 
assists) at second and all the Associated 
Press carried on the matter was these words : 

"Huggins's work was almost phenomenal." 

Branch Rickey, manager of the St. Louis 
Nationals, was a catcher in the Dakota 
State League of 1902 and caught a little for 
the team Huggins now manages. One game 
in which Rickey's work was not phenomenal 
was that of June 28, 1907. against Washing- 
ton. Then the Senators stole 18 bases on 
him. Rickey probably played in the Dakota 
State League under an alias, for that league 
was full of college players, among them 
the great Princeton pitcher, Arthur R. T. 
Hildebrand. 

The historians seem to be fairly certain 
that the greatest number of errors made by 
a major league club in one game was 27. the 
Phillies having this number chai'ged against 
them when they were beaten by Providence 



98 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



on August 21, 1883, by a score of 28 to 0— 
a record major league shutout score, by the 
way. The only Quakers who didn't err were 
Blondy Purcell, left fielder, and Sid Farrar, 
first baseman, Farrar being the father of 
Geraldine, the Cantatrice, The score of 
this game is contained in Balldom. 

There, too, can be found a list of the 
lop sided shutouts of the majors. The most 
lop sided in the Amei'ican League saw De- 
troit winning over Cleveland, 21 to 0, on 
September 15, 1901. 

TWO 24 TO GAMES 

Two 24 to games have been played in 
the major leagues, both in the National. 
The first was reeled off on May 27. 1885, with 
New York winning and Buffalo losing. Welch 
and Galvin being the pitchers. The second 
took place on June 28, 1887. Philadelphia 
being the conqueror and Indianapolis the 
conquered. Ferguson pitched for the Phillies, 
Morrison and Sowders being the Hoosier 
hurlers. This Morrison may have been the 
same Morrison who emitted seven wild 
pitches in a game against Columbus when he 
was working for Syracuse of the American 
Association on July 28, 1890. or it may have 
been another Morrison. There were two 
Morrisons and it is hard to identify them. 

EASIER NOW 

It is easier now to trace the movements of 
the players of Organized Ball, with the 
guides giving the first names of the players 
and the scribes extracting the middle names 
from them. Nobody knows what Speaker's 
middle name is, for he hasn't any. wishing 
the E on himself because when young he 
thought that every regular fellow should 
have a middle initial. 

As for Speaker, he arrived in the American 
League on September 12. 1907 and that day 
helped Congalton patrol right fi^ld for the 
Boston Red Sox, who then were beaten by 
the Athletics, 7 to 1. Speaker batted twice 
against James Dygert, a spit ball pitcher, 
and got no hits. He had no chances in the 
field, either. 

Tyrus Raymond Cobb played his first 
game in the American League on August 80, 
1905, against New York, Jack Chesbro pitch- 
ing, and doubled the first time he batted. 

Here are the first games of some other 
star players and managers of the present ; 
their first major league games : 

STEPHEN FRANCIS O'NEILL, Cleve- 
land, catcher — September 18, 1911. against 
Boston, for Cleveland, when he caught George 
Kahler in a game that Cleveland won. 4 to 1. 
No hits for Steve, but he stole a base on 
Alva (Rip) Williams. 



LEE. ALEXANDER FOHL, Browns' 
manager — August 29, 1902, against Chicago 
for Pittsburgh, when he caught Cushman 
in a game that Pittsburgh lost, 9 to 3. No 
hits for Lee, he had an error and the Cubs 
stole six bases on him. 

GEORGE GIBSON, Pirates' manager- 
July 2, 1905, against Cincinnati for Pitts- 
burgh, when he caught Deacon Phillippe in 
a game that Pittsburgh lost, 4 to 1. No hits 
for Gibby, he had an error and the Reds 
stole three bases on him. 

JOHN McINNIS, Cleveland, first base- 
man — April 12, 1909 (day Shibe Park was 
opened ) , against Boston for Philadelphia, 
when he played short in a game that the 
Athletics won, 8 to 1. One hit for Stuffy 
off Frank Arellanes and he had one error 
in six chances. 

EVERETT SCOTT, Yankee shortstop- 
April 14, 1914, against Washington for Bos- 
ton, when he played short in a game that 
Boston, lost, 3 to 0. One hit for Scotty off 
Walter Johnson and four chances accepted. 
Scott had played 882 consecutive games when 
this season of 1922 started. 

WAITE CHARLES HOYT, Yankee 
pitcher — July 24, 1918, against St. Louis for 
New York, when he pitched the ninth inning 
in a game that the Giants lost, 10 to 2. 
Three men faced the 1921 world's series' hero 
— Betzel fanned on three pitched balls. Gon- 
zales fanned on four pitched balls, Packard 
popped to Fletcher. This was the only 
pitching Hoyt did for the New York 
Nationals in championship games. 

GEORGE HAROLD SISLER, Browns' 
first baseman — July 3, 1915 (had been in 
game as pinch-hitter previously), against 
Cleveland for St. Louis, when he pitched and 
won his game 3 to 1. Sisler went hitless in 
this game against Walker and Covimbe. He 
gave the Indians seven hits, fanned nine 
of them and walked the same number. 

ARTHUR NEHF. Giant pitcher— August 
13. 1915, against Philadelphia for Boston, 
when he pitched two hitless innings after the 
Phillies had knocked Rudolph out. Phila- 
delphia won, 5 to 3. Nehf's record was all 
ciphers. 

GEORGE HERMAN RUTH. Yankee 
home run king — July 11, 1914. against Cleve- 
land for Boston, when he pitched seven 
innings and was taken out so that Duffy 
Lewis could pinch hit for him. Red Sox 
won this game, 4 to 3, Ruth getting credit 
for victory. He went hitless in two attempts 
against Southnaw William Mitchell, fanned 
one man and issued no passes. 

CLARK CALVIN GRIFFITH, president 
Washington club — Ar»ril 11. 1891, against 
Cincinnati for St. Louis Browns, winning 
13 to 5. Gave the Reds seven hits, fanned 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA

two and passed six. Failed to make a hit 
off either William McGill or Matthew Kilroy. 

MILLER J. HUGGINS, Yankee manager 
— April 15, 1904, against Chicago for Cincin- 
nati, playing second base. Singled against 
Frank Corridon, drew two passes, stole a base 
on John Kling and cared for six out of 
seven chances. 

WILBERT ROBINSON, Siiperba man- 
ager — April 19, 1886, against Metropolitans 
for Athletics, catching Kennedy in game that 
Philadelphia American Association team lost 
4 to 1. Scored his team's only run, made 
one of its three hits and stole its only base. 
Fielding record : Six putouts, one assist and 
two errors. 

FRED MITCHELL, Braves' manager- 
April 27, 1901, against Baltimore for Boston 
Red Sox, in game that Orioles won, 12 to 6. 
Mitchell was a pitcher then and relieved Cy 
Young I, who was being bombarded by the 
Birds. He failed to stop them and made one 
hit off Harry Howell. 

HUGH AMBROSE JENNINGS, Giants' 
coach — June 1, 1891, against Washington for 
Louisville (American Association), in game 
that Senators won 14 to 5. No hits for Jen- 
nings, who fanned once and sacrificed three 



times. Record at short : Six putouts, two 

^^EDWARD J. ROUSH, Reds' outfielder- 
August 20, 1913, against Boston for Chicago 
White Sox. Caught two fly balls, but made 
no hits in three trips to plate against Fred 
Anderson and Charles Hall. 

JOHN McGRAW, Giants' manager- 
August 26, 1891, against Columbus for Balti- 
more (American Association), covering sec- 
ond in game that Orioles won, 6 to 5. The 
Little Napoleon, then 18 years old, made one 
hit off Phil Knell, scored a run, sacrificed 
and had two putouts, three assists and one 
error. 

CONNIE MACK, Athletics' manager- 
September 16, 1886, against New York for 
Washington, catching Shadow Gilmore in 
eight innings 1 to 1 tie game. Made one of 
five hits of his club's off Tim Keefe, started 
the only double play made in the game 
and had nine putouts and two assists. 

Al Munro Elias probably can tell the ex- 
act date when each of the famous major 
leaguerers played their first games in fast 
company and another gentleman who can do 
the same thing is Bradshaw H. Swales of 
Washington, who has a very complete roster 
of all the major and minor league clubs from 
1883 on.

Some tabloid information regarding the 
seven series between the National League 
and the American Association for the 
world's honors : 

1884 — Providence captured the World's 
Championship for the National League by 
defeating the Metropolitans of the American 
Association in three straight games, the 
scores being 6 to 0, 3 to 1 and 12 to 2, 
Charles Radbourne officiated in all three 
contests for the winners. Said contests all 
were played at the Polo Grounds and little 
interest was manifested in the series, which 
was informal, the attendance averaging 2000 
daily. The clubs seemed in no hurry to 
start the games, the dates on which they 
were played being October 23rd, 24th and 
25th. 

1885 — There was no World's Champion, 
the series of seven games between the 
Chicago National League and St. Louis 
American Association teams resulting in 
three victories for each, with one contest a 
draw. The St. Louis' victories were by 
scores of 7 to 4, 3 to 2. and 13 to 4 and 
Chicago's 5 to 4 and 9 to 2 (twice). Be- 
sides playing in St. Louis and Chicago, the 
teams visited Pittsburgh and Cincinnati for 
games, both cities then being on the American 
Association circuit. The first of the games 
Avas played on October 14th and the last on 
October 24th. 

1886— Charley Comiskey's St. Louis 
Browns, of the American Association, won 
from Anson's Chicago National Leaguers in 
a six game series, taking four contests by 
scores of 12 to 0, 8 to 5, 10 to 3, and 4 to 3. 

Chicago's victories, both pitched by John 
Clarkson, were by scores of 6 to and 11 
to 4. The first three contests were played 
in Chicago and the last three in St Louis, 
the series starting on October 18th and 
ending on October 23rd. The Windy City 
team won two out of the three games played 
on its home lot. but lost all three run off 
at Sportsman's Park in St Louis, a passed 
ball by Mike Kelly losing Chicago a chance 
to tie the series in the final game, which 
went ten innings and in which the slabmen 
were Caruthers and Clarkson. 

1887 — Detroit wrested from St. Louis the 
World's Championship by winning 10 out 
of 15 games in the most ambitious series 
that ever was arranged between two pen- 
nant winning teams. The series began on 
October 10th and lasted until October 26th, 
and games were played in St. Louis, Detroit, 
Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, New York, Phila- 
delphia (one on the League grounds and one 
on the Association green). Boston. Balti- 
more. Washington and Chicaaro. The St. 
T,onis' victories were all twirled by "Parisian 
Bob" Caruthers and were by scores of 
6 to 1, 5 to 2, 16 to 4. 5 to 1 and 9 to 2. 



Detroit won in this fashion : 5 to 3, 2 to 1, 
(13 innings), 8 to 0, 9 to 0, 3 to 1, 9 to 2, 
4 to 2, 13 to 3, 6 to 3 and 4 to 3. Two 
things that tended to give the Michiganders 
the series in such a decisive manner were 
the pitching of Charles (Lady) Baldwin, a 
left hander, who trimmed the Browns in six 
out of seven games, and the throwing of 
Charley Bennett. The Detroit backstop 
flagged nearly all the Comiskeyites who at- 
tempted to steal and made them hug their 
bases closely. The 15 games were attended 
by 51.455 spectators. Brooklyn furnishing 
the largest turnout, 6,796. Conditions have 
changed since then. 

1888 — The New York National League 
Club fought for the honors of the universe 
for the first time and won six out of 10 
games from Comiskey's St. Louis aggrega- 
tion, which had again finished first in the 
American Association race. The series 
started on October 16th and was completed 
on October 27th, four games being played 
in New York and St. Louis and one each 
in Brooklyn and in Philadelphia. The 
Giants won five out of the first six games 
and made little effort to subdue the Browns 
in the contests that were fought in the 
Mound City. New York's triumphs were by 
scores of 2 to 1, 4 to 2, 6 to 3, 6 to 4 (10 
innings) , 12 to 5 and 11 to 3, while St. Louis 
won by scores of 3 to 0, 7 to 5, 14 to 11 
and 18 to 7. Buck Ewing took Charley 
Bennett's place as a backstop able to stop 
the Browns on the bases and Tim Keefe 
was even more effective than Baldwin had 
been the previous year, beating the Mis- 
sourains all four times he faced them. 
The one shutout of the series was twirled 
by Elton Chamberlain, who won over 
Mickey Welch, 3 to 0. 

1889 — The Giants and Brooklyns were 
winners in their respective organizations 
and met in a series of nine games, which 
were played between October 18th and 29th, 
New York winning six and losing three. 
The games were confined to the Metropolitan 
district, five being played in New York and 
four in Brooklyn. Brooklyn won three of 
the first four games and then New York took 
the next five. Brooklyn's trinmnhs were 
by scores of 12 to 10, 8 to 7 and 10 to 7, 
while the New York successes were on the 
basis of 6 to 2. 11 to 3. 2 to 1 (11 innings), 
11 to 7. 16 to 7 and 3 to 2. Hank O'Day, 
National League umpire now. was the most 
effective of the New York pitchers, winning 
both his games and figuring in the one 
excess round affair of the set. 

1890 — Really the best club in America 
during the year of the Brotherhood's ex- 
istence was the Boston Plavers' League 
team. Being outside the pale of the National 
Agreement, it could not compete for the 



102 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



World's Championship, for which honor 
the Brooklyns of the National League and 
the Louisvilles of the American Association 
contended. There was no result to the 
seven-game series, which was played between 
October ITth and 28th, one of the contests 
being a 7 to 7 draw. Four contests were 
played in the Falls City and three in 
Brooklyn and there was no mad rush on the 
part of the populace to be present, the 
country having had more exhibitions of 
the national pastime than it could possibly 
digest. Brooklyn won by scores of 9 to 0, 
5 to 3. and 7 to 2 ; Louisville by scores of 
5 to 4, 9 to 8 and 6 to 2. Red Ehret 
twirled in all three of the Kentuckians' 
wins. 

WAR ON— NO SERIES 

The National League and American Asso- 
ciation were at war in 1891 and there was 
no series, and when the two organizations 
consolidated that fall naturally the games 
for the championship of the world auto- 
matically went into the discard, for the 
champion team of the world would be the 
team that finished first in the pennant race 
of the National League and American As- 
sociation of Professional Baseball Clubs, 
as the new organization tenned itself. 

In the first year (1892) of the consoli- 
dated organization it had a split season, 
with Boston winning in the first half and 
Cleveland in the second and with Boston 
on top for the year. Boston was averse to 
playing off for the supremacy, but the 
League solons insisted that they do so. The 
first game between the clans of Selee and 
Tebeau was an 11-inning runless draw and 
then the Seleeities showed their class by 
winning five contests in a row. the scores 
of these being 4 to 3. 3 to 2, 4 to 0, 12 to 7. 
and 8 to 3. 

The National League's one year trial of 
the split season was enough for it and in 
1893 there was a return to the old system 
of a campaign that went right through till 
fall. 

In 1894 W. C. Temple, a wealthy Pitts- 
burgh sportsman and one time president of 
the organization of which Barney Dreyfuss 
is now the head, donated to the National 
League a silver trophy called the Temple 
Cup, which was to be annually battled for 
by the teams finishing first and second. 

There were four series for the Temple 
Cup and after the fourth the National 
League returned the trophy to its donor. 
There was a lot of interest in the first two 
series, very little in the last two, the public 
tiring of these games after some of the con- 
• testants agreed to split their shares no 



matter how the contests resulted. Balti- 
more was in four of the series, Cleveland 
in two. New York in one and Boston in one. 
Only once did a pennant winning team win 
a Temple Cup series, the Orioles turning the 
trick on their third attempt. 

A short history of the series for the 
Temple Cup, these series not being for the 
championship of the world, which pre- 
viously had been settled by the National 
League pennant pursuit : 

TEMPLE CUP SERIES 

1894 — New York defeated the pennant 
winning Baltimores in four straight games, 
three played in Baltimore, one in New York. 
The series started October 4th and ended 
October 8th. The scores were 4 to 1 
(twice), 9 to 6 and 16 to 3. Amos Rusie 
and Jouett Meekin did all the pitching for 
the Giants, each man winning two games. 
Baltimore was able to score only twice on 
the Hoosier Thunderbolt, regarded as one 
of the speediest pitchers ever in baseball, 

1895 — The Orioles again missed the 
trophy, this time bowing to Pat Tebeau's 
Cleveland Spiders, who took four out of the 
five games, four being played in Cleveland 
and one in Baltimore. The contests were 
played between October 2nd and 8th and 
Cleveland won by scores of 5 to 4, 7 to 2, 
7 to 1 and 5 to 2. Cy Young won three 
games for the Ohioans, George (Nig) Cuppy 
one. Charles Esper, a left hander, won the 
only game for the champion Birds, turning 
in a 5 to effort. 

1896 — Baltimore took revenge on the 
Clevelands, this time capturing four in a 
row from Tebeau's n;en between October 2nd 
and 8th. Scores of the games: 7 to 1, 7 to 
2. 6 to 2 and 5 to 0. The first three con- 
tests were pla/ed in Baltimore, the last 
combat was staged in Cleveland. Balti- 
more's pitching was divided by Bill Hoffer 
and Joe Corbett, while the Cleveland hurling 
was looked after by George Cuppy (two 
games), and Cy Young and Rhody Wallace 
(each one game). 

1897 — Hanlon's Hustlers won the trophy 
for the second successive time in what was 
destined to be the last Temple Cup series, the 
defeated team being Boston. The Orioles 
lost the first contest, which was played in 
Baltimore on October 4th, by a score of 
13 to 12, and then won the next four games, 
played in Boston on October 5, 6, 9 and 11, 
by scores of 13 to 11, 8 to 3, 12 to 11 and 
9 to 3. Jerry Nops, Joe Corbett and Bill 
Hoffer did the pitching for the Marylanders, 
Charley Nichols. Charley Hickman and 
Fred Klobedanz for the Massachusetts com- 
bination.

HOW THEY HANDLED IT 

This clipping, headed Grasping Spirit in 
Boston, shows how the comfort of the 
scribes was not looked after by the Boston 
management 25 years ago : 

The management in Boston is being 
severely criticised for the lack of courtesy 
and the grasping proclivities displayed at 
the Temple Cup game yesterday. The fact 
that every crank in the country was anxious 
to keep in touch with the game through the 
corps of newspaper correspondents sent to 
Boston was entirely disregarded. Instead of 
furnishing extra facilities to accommodate 
this rather important service even the 
ordinary and entirely inadequate equipment 
was rendered impossible. The wires and 
instruments lead to the front row of the 
grandstand, where a miserable unscreened 
press stand offers opportunities to practice 
lively dodging of foul tips and wild pitches. 
This space was sold yesterday, and corres- 
pondents, who also paid the price of ad- 
mission, by the way, were driven to the 
slanting roof of the stand, accompanied by 
the telegraph operators, where they perched 
among the rafters and trusted a kindly 
Providence to keep the wires clear. As the 
wires were carried into the regions some- 
where under the horde of spectators beneath 
and the switches and other paraphernalia 
of telegraphy were entirely out of reach in 
case of accident, the state of mind in which 
correspondents were kept was unenviable. 
Perhaps Mr. Selee doesn't care whether the 
public outside of Boston gets news of the 
Temple Cup battles; but then the Temple 
Cup is a sort. of national affair and baseball 
rooters are somewhat interested in it. 

NO KICKS THEREAFTER 

That was the last chance war correspond- 
ents had to kick at the treatment accorded 
them when they were sent to cover near 
World's Series or World's Series. In the 
fall of 1900 the pennant winning Brooklyns 
and the second place Pittsburghs played a 
three game series for a cup offered by a 
Smoky City newspaper, but the scribes did 
not turn out in droves for this set of com- 
bats and neither did the populace. 

The National League and American 
League were bitter enemies in 1901 and 
1902 and the question as to which of the 
pennant winners was the best remained 
undecided these two seasons. 

In 1903 Boston, representing the American 
League, and Pittsburgh, representing the 
National, met to determine the champion- 
ship of the world, the series being under the 



jurisdiction of the two clubs interested 
more than the two leagues interested. Eight 
contests were played — five in the Hub, three 
in Stogieville — between October 1st and 
12th. The Red Sox, managed by Jimmy 
Collins, generally conceded to be the best 
third baseman of all time and now a resident 
of Buffalo and president of an amateur 
league there, took the Pirates into camp, 
five games to three. The Pennsylvanians 
won three of the first four engagements, but 
the Plymouth Rocks recovered their nerve 
and took the last four, shutting out Barney's 
Buccaneers in the final frolic, when Big 
Bill Dinneen (William Henry Dinneeu, 
American League umpire now) opposed 
Charles Louis Phillippe on the rubber. 

In this series Deacon Phillippe was the 
mainstay of the National Leaguers, being on 
the rubber in all three of their victories and 
conquering Cy Young once, Tom Hughes 1, 
once, and Bill Dinneen once. Dinneen 
won three games for the Red Sox and 
Young two, the present American League 
umpire scoring a pair of shutouts. The 
scores of the Pittsburgh victories were 7 to 3, 
4 to 2 and 7 to 4, while Boston won by 
margins of 3 to 0, 11 to 2, 6 to 3, 7 to 3 and 
3 to 0. Pittsburgh, in a final effort to save 
the day, pitted Phillippe against Dinneen in 
what turned out to be the final game of the 
series. Dinneen outpitched Phillippe, con- 
fining the Pirates to four safeties and 
winding up the game by fanning Hans 
Wagner, another player who deserves a 
place on the greatest team of all time. 

The scores of the games between Boston 
and Pittsburgh can be found in the Reach 
Guide of 1904 and the scores of all other 
games for the world's championship since 
can be found in the handbooks of the 
National Commission as well as in the 
publication Francis C. Richter has edited 
for so many years. The Spalding Guide 
also has been publishing the World's Series 
scores for years and so has the Record 
Book, but the Reach Guide is the only one 
that has contained all of them. 

There was no World's Series in 1904, 
when the Giants and Red Sox won the 
pennant of their respective leagues, 
owner John T. Brush of the New York 
National League club insisting that such a 
series should be under National Commission 
rules and drawing up a set of rules later. 
These rules still obtain. Naturally there 
have been changes in them, but the main 
scheme of the World's Series today remains 
John T. Brush's.

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



INTEREST BECOMES GENERAL 

Once the World's Series came under the 
jurisdiction of the National Commission, 
interest in the games became general and 
these games became fashionable, attracting 
people who only previously knew of the 
pastime by reading of it. In some ways the 
series has become a little too fashionable, 
for the fan who goes regularly to champion- 
ship games has quite a time obtaining 
tickets to the classical contests. 

These figures give a pretty good illustra- 
tion of what interest has been taken in the 
IS sets of games for the world's title between 
the American and National League pennant 
winners : 

Total attendance— 2,702,375. 

Total receipts— $5,667,200.50. 

Winning a World's Series gives a league 
and a club considerable prestige, and to 
hear certain rabid bugs talk losing a series 
means that the losing club and league be- 
longs in Class AA. 

That the difference between the two major 
leagues is slight and always has been slight, 
the figures for the 18 World's Series 
between the x^merican and National Leagues 
prove. Here they are :

The preceding table shows how little

in what fashion they lost the world's title 
or the chance to obtain it, the clubs that

BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



WHERE THE ROSTERS ARE 

Readers desiring the rosters of the pen- 
nant winning clubs and those who partici- 
pated in the various World's Series can find 
them in another section of this book, they 
not being given here in order to avoid 
duplication and in order to save space. 

As for everything that happened in the 
various sets of games for the blue ribbon of 
baseball, few feats are overlooked in the 
World's Sei-ies' record performances con- 
tained in the Spalding Official Base Ball 
Record. 

PITCHING PERFORMANCES 

The World's Series still is shy a no-hit 
game, Edward Marvin Reulbach of the 
Cubs having the best pitched game to his 
credit with a one-swat combat against the 
White Sox on October 10, 1906. Reulbach 
won this game 7 to 1, John Augustin 
(Jiggs) Donohue preventing him from 
getting into the Hall of Fame by singling. In 
this contest, which was played at South 
Side Park, Reulbach, a collegian, who 
pitched under the name of Lawson before 
getting into the National League, franked 
six men and fanned three. 

Anything said about sensational per- 
formances in the World's Series from now 
on relates only to series between the 
American and National Leagues. 

These have been the authors of two-hit 
games : 

HELD OPPONENTS TO TWO HITS 

October 11, 1906 — Edward Armstrong 
Walsh, White Sox, against Cubs. Won 
his game, 3 to 0. 

October 12, 1906— Mordecai Peter Cen- 
tennial Brown, Cubs, against White Sox. 
Won his game, 1 to 0. 

October 11. 1913— Edward S. Plank, 
Athletics, against Giants. Won his game, 
3 to 1. 

October 10, 1914 — William Lawrence 
James, Braves, against Athletics. Won his 
game, 1 to 0. 

October 6. 1921 — Waite Charles Hoyt, 
Yankees, against Giants. Won his game, 3 
to 0. 

NOTABLE THREE-HIT GAME 

John Wesley Coombs of the Athletics, who 
coached Williams this spring (1922), turned 
in the best three-hit game in a series for 
the championship of the universe at New 
York on October 17, 1911, when he won 



over Christy Mathewson in 11 innings, 3 
to 2. The Giants' safeties were made by 
Charles Herzog, Chief Meyers and Matty, 
Herzog's being a double and coming in the 
eleventh spasm. The other safeties came in 
the third inning. 

JACK WAS NEVER BEATEN 

John Wesley never lost a World's Series 
game, though one contest in which he took 
part went against his team. He won five 
classical combats — four for the Athletics 
and one for the Superbas. This is his 
record and it is a record that probably will 
endure : 

COOMBS'S STRING OF FIVE 

October 18, 1910— D e f e a t e d Cubs, 
Mordecai Brown pitching, 9 to 3, allowing 
seven hits, striking out five men and passing 
nine. Men at bat, 31. 

October 20, 1910— Defeated Cubs, Ed 
R.eulbach pitching. 12 to 5, allowing six hits, 
striking out eight men and passing four. 
Men at bat, 31. 

October 23, 1910— D e f e a t e d Cubs, 
Mordecai Brown pitching, 7 to 2, allowing 
nine hits, striking out seVen men and 
passing one. Men at bat, 34. 

October 17, 1911— Defeated Giants, 
Christy Mathewson pitching, 3 to 2 in 11 
innings, allowing three hits, striking out 
seven men and passing four. Men at bat, 
31. 

October 10. 1916— Defeated Red Sox, 
Carl Mays pitching, 4 to 3, allowing seven 
hits and three runs in six and one third 
innings, striking out one man and passing 
one. Men at bat, 23. 

The contest in which Coombs participated 
that was not a victory for his team was that 
of October 25, 1911. Jack then strained 
himself and had to retire in the tenth with 
the score tied. Plank, finishing the game, 
lost it, 4 to 3. In this game, 32 men faced 
Coombs in nine innings, his opponents 
scored three runs and made eight hits, he 
fanned nine men and he walked two. 

This is Coombs's complete World's Series 
record — and it is some record : 

Games pitched — 6. 
Games won — 5. 
Games lost— NONE. 
Innings pitched — 53 and 1-3. 
Opponents' times at bat — 182. 
Opponents' runs — 18. 
Opponents' base hits — 40. 
Opponents' batting average — 220, 
Strikeouts— 37. 
Bases on bails — 21.

FRANK SNYDER, Giants— Four singles 
off Shawkey, Collins, Quinn and Rogers, 
Yankees, on October 7, 1921. 

Harry Gowdy of the Braves climbed Joe 
Bush of the Athletics for two singles and o 
home run on October 12, 1914. and Walter 
Ruether of the Reds got a brace of triples 
off Eddie Cicotte and Grover Lowdermilk of 
the White Sox on October 1, 1919. 

George Rohe, in the White Sox line-up 
because of an injury to George Davis, was 
the first world's series' player to clean the 
bases of their three tenants with a long hit, 
tripling on October 11, 1906, against Jack 
Pfiester, Cub southpaw. 

Clean Up Boy No. 2 was Elmer John Smith 
of the Indians. He made a home run with 
three on against Burleigh Grimes of the 
Superbas on October 10, 1920. 

Clean Up Boy No. 3 was Ross Young (or 
Youngs) of the Giants. He tripled with a 
full house in evidence in the seventh inning 
of the game with the Yankees, Warren 
Collins pitching, and Warren was through 
for the day. Earlier in the same spasm Young 
had doubled against Jack Quinn and the 
triple set him in a class by himself as being 
the one world's series' player to acquire two 
safeties in one inning — both long ones, too. 



USEFUL HOME RUNS 

Teams often have ridden to victory on 
home runs in world's series' games, two hits 
of this kind for one contest being the limit 
for one player. Patrick Henry Dougherty 
of the Red Sox helped himself to a brace of 
four baggers on October 2. 1903, at the ex- 
pense of Pedagogue Samuel Leever and Fred 
(Bucky) Vail of the Pirates. Twelve years 
later Harry B. Hooper, also a Red Sox. 
made two belt line wallops in a game with the 
Phillies, Erskine Mayer and Eppa Rixey 
Ititching. The date of this game was Octo- 
ber 13th. Benjamin Michael Kauff of the 
Giants made a carbon copy of the Daugherty- 
Hooper exploits on October 11. 1917. turban 
Charles Faber and David Charles Danforth 
pitching. 

The real world's series' home run king, 
however, was not Dougherty, not Hooper, 
not Kauff. It was John Franklin Baker, then 
of the Athletics, now of the Yankees. Bakei''s 
home runs made him and made history. There 
were three of them, two made in 1911. one 
made in 1913. 

The clouts of 1911 always will be re- 
membered. No. 1 appeared in the sixth in- 
ning of the game October 16th. Marquard 
was pitching for New York, each team had 
a run, Eddie Collins was on second and 
there Avere two out. John Franklin wafted 
the ball over the right field wall at Shibe 
Park, winning the game for the A's 3 to 1, 
Scribe Mathewson. the next morning, told 
how ]Mnnniard had pitched wrongly to the 
Trapne Thumper. 

Scribe Marquard soon was able to infoi-m 
his readers how Pitcher Mathewson pitched 
wrongly to the Maryland Mauler, getting oc- 
casion to do so after what happened in the 
ninth inning of the game of October 17th at 
the Polo Grounds. Big Six had this game 
in his possession. 1 to 0. when the ninth 
started, and disposed of the first batter — 
Eddie Collins. Baker then hit to right for 
the circuit, tying things up, and in the 
eleventh the Athletics won out. 

Baker's last world's series home run was 
punched oyt in the fifth inning of the game 
of October 7. 1913, at the Polo Grounds, the 
White Elephants winning this game. 6 to 
4. They had a two-run lead when the inning 
started, two men being out when Eddie Col- 
lins worked Marquard for transportation. 
The Rube pitched to Baker and J. Franklin 
hit the ball into the right field stands, his 
run eventually winning the contest.

paign's kick-off. No man has yet appeared 
on the baseball horizon brave enough to 
attempt a i-eal history of the minor leagues, 
for that task is an impossible one. The 
leagues have changed their names and have 
changed their circuits so frequently that 
there probably isn't anyone in the country 
who knows the names of all the organiza- 
tions that have functioned or all the cities 
that have supported (or tried to support) 
clubs. Extremely small would be the State 
that at some time or another hasn't had a 
State League. 

The one minor league that developed into 
a major league was the American League. 
Before it became a major league it had 
Class A ranking and it had a circuit practi- 
cally the same as the American Association 
of today. Its name prior to 1900 was the 
Western League. It operated continuously 
from 1894 to 1899 under this title and under 
the watchful eye of Byron Bancroft Johnson. 

The minor league that has been longest in 
continuous existence is the International 
League, which is the old Eastern League. 



Its career dates back to 1884, if one wants 
to consider the New York State League of 
that year the International of today. 

Probably the first minor league was the 
Northwestern League of 1879, which had a 
circuit consisting of Dubuque and Daven- 
port, Iowa : Rockford, Illinois and Omaha, 
Nebraska. Dubuque won the pennant, two 
of the lowans' stars being Charles Comiskey. 
owner of the Chicago White Sox, and 
Thomas J. Loftus. who was an American 
League manager in the early days of the 
Johnson organization. 

The Old Roman was a pitcher then as 
well as a first baseman and as a pitcher he 
is said to have held all records for crippling 
opponents — not on purpose, but merely 
through his wildness. Ted Sullivan, who 
probably has formed more minor leagues than 
anyone else unless possibly John McCloskey. 
can tell what kind of a curver Commy 
was-^and has told several times. 

In 1883 there was a Northwestern League 
Toledo winning its pennant, and there was 
an Inter-State League, located in the East, 
with Brooklyn as its champion club. 

In 1884 there was an Eastern League 
which had clubs in Trenton. Wilmington. 
Baltimore, Reading. Harrisburg and other 
places; there was a Northwestern League: 
there we^re a couple of leagues in Connecticut 
and Massachusetts; there was an Iron and 
Oil League, and there was a New York State 
League. 

Don't think by. this you are going to 
get a yearly list of minor leagues, because 
you are not. 

What the writer is trying to do is to show 
that years ago there were plenty of minor 
leagues. 

Here are some items from the Xeic York 
Clipper Annual of 1885 about minor leagues 
which then were in their infancy. 

February 11th — The Eastern League held 
a special meeting — Jersey City, N. J. 

February 12th — The Western League or- 
ganized — Indianapolis. Indiana. 

March 12th and 13th— The Eastern 
League held its schedule meeting — Phila- 
delphia. Pa. 

March 16 — The New York State League 
organized — Albany, N. Y., (and it wasn't 
very many years later that John Conway 
Toole, now president of the International 
League, was umpiring in it, Toole, like 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA

President John Heydler of the National 
League, is an ex-umpire.) 

March 31st — The Western League held 
its scheduled meeting — St. Louis, Mo. 

April 8th— Special meeting of the South- 
ern League — Atlanta, Ga. 

April 15th — The Southern League com- 
menced its championship season. 

April 18th — Opening championship games* 
of the Western League. 

April 30th — Opening championship games 
of the Eastern League. 

June 14th — The Western League dis- 
banded. (Cleveland was in it.) 

June 25th— The Atlantic City (formerly 
Wilmington) club disbanded, 

July 1st — Special meeting of the New 
York State League — Binghamton, N. Y. 

July 24th — The Eastern League held a 
special meeting — Baltimore, Md. 

July 28th— The Albany club disbanded. 

August 4th — The Lancaster club dis- 
banded. 

August 31st — The Norfolk club disbanded. 
September 4th— The Birmingham club 
disbanded. 

September 7th — The Columbus, (Ga.) 
c]ub disbanded. 

September 12th — The Southern League 
held a special meeting — Atlanta. Ga. 

September 17 th — The Southern League 
closed its championship season. 

September 18th — The Virginia club of 
Richmond disbanded. 

November 10th — Special meeting of the 
Southern League — Macon, Ga. 

November 18th — Special meeting of the 
Eastern League — Meriden, Conn. 

December 2nd — Annual meeting of the 
Ontario League — Toronto, Ont. 

December 16th — Annual meeting of the 
New York State League — Syracuse, N. Y. 

And here were some of the no-hit games 
of 1885 : 

April 2oth — Conway. Lawrence vs. Wal- 
tham. (This Conway probably is the 
Conway who pitched for Baltimore the day 
Guy Hecker scored seven runs and he 
probably was pitching in the league in 
which Wilbert Robinson, Superba manager 
now was playing). 

May 11th — Kelly. Springfield vs. Erie. 
(Evidently Springfield, Ohio.) 

May 29th — Parsons, Birmingham vs. 
Augusta. (This was first hitless game in 
Southern League.) 

June 11th — Morrison, Bridgeport vs. 
Waterbury. (This was an Eastern League 
game and Connie Mack was in the Eastern 
League then, with Hartford.) 

June 24th — Stemmyer, Toronto vs. Clipper 
of Hamilton. 

August 22nd — ^Barr, National of Washing- 
ton vs. Virginia of Richmond. 



August 28th — Pendergrass, Utica vs. 
Rochester. (This was probably first hitless 
game in what is now the International 
League.) 

October 3rd — J. Smith, Newark vs. 
Baltimore. 

NOT IN THE SAME LEAGUE 

Newark and Baltimore were not in the 
same league in 1885, Newark being in the 
Eastern and Baltimore in the American 
Association. The Orioles visited Newark to 
play an exhibition game and not only were 
shut out in hits and runs by the Jerseymen, 
but failed to get a man to first base. Six- 
teen of the Birds fanned. J. Smith was 
John (Phenomenal) Smith, Christy Mathew- 
son's manager at Norfolk in 1900 and a 
man under whom William Edward Donovan 
and William Oliver Gilbert, Eastern League 
managers now. saw service when they first 
were starting out. 

ST. LOUIS MAROONS HELD 
HITLESS, TOO 

The Orioles do not happen to be the only 
major league team that has failed to make 
a safe hit when playing a minor league team. 
The same experience happened to the St. 
Louis Maroons of the National League when 
they stacked up against the Leavenworth 
team of the Western League on April 25, 
1886, William F. Hart of Cincinnati (Bond 
Hill Billy) doing the pitching for the 
Kansans. Hart had a remarkably long 
pitching career — over 20 years. So had 
Theodore Breitenstein. When the iron men 
of the game are considered the names of both 
Hart and of Breitenstein should be included. 

So far as the writer knows there was no 
league on the Pacific Slope in 1885, but 
they had good teams there then — the 
Haverlys, the Pioneers, and the Greenhood 
and Morans among others — and no-hit games 
were being released by Incell and by George 
Van Haltren. Probably the first hitless 
contest on the Coast was flung by Charley 
Sweeney, a native son. himself, against the 
Haverlys of San Francisco on December 30, 
1883. Sweeney, holder of the National 
League strikeout record for one game, was 
with Providence that year and the next.

, The dope of 1886 throws some light on 
the minor leagues of 1922, and it throws a lot 
of light on the work necessary to trace each 
minor league from its organization to the 
present moment. 

The International, as before stated, was 
the New York State League at the start 
and it operated for years as the Eastern, 
with its destinies ably looked after by* 
Patrick T. Powers. 

The American Association sprang into 
existence when the American League ex- 
panded. Its career dates from 1902. That 
year it went in alone, fighting the National 
Association and winning its fight. One of 
the men who engaged in this successful war 
on the A. A. side was Ernest S. Barnard, 
business manager for years of the Cleveland 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



113 



American League and one of the smartest 
men there is in baseball. Mr. Barnard, 
formerly sporting editor of a Columbus 
paper, edited an American Association guide 
for the A. J. Reach Company in 1902 and 
that book ought to be procured by anyone 
who desires to write a history of Thomas 
J. Hickey's prosperous organization. 
Thomas Jefferson, before he became presi- 
dent of the American Association, was presi- 
dent of the Western League and of the 
Western Association. 

The Pacific Coast League also was an 
outlaw organization once. It, the Interna- 
tional and the American Association have 
Class AA ranking and do not have to submit 
to the draft. 

Some writers think that because the 
three Class AA leagues do not desire the 
draft they are keeping certain players back 
in their advancement. This writer person- 
ally happens to know that in the case of any 
International League player who desires to 
go to the majors, he would be allowed to go, 
draft or no draft. But the Baltimore play- 
ers like Bentley. Boley and Jacobson, 
supposed to be able to deliver the goods in 
fast company haven't yet signifiied any desire 
to leave John Dunn. 

Returning to the subject of the minor 
leagues of the present, the Eastern League 
of 1922 is practically the old Connecticut 
State League and the O'Neil circuit con- 
tains several cities that were in the Eastern 
when Connie Mack was a Hartford catcher, 
back in 1885 and 1886. Leslie Ballard 
Stearns, sporting editor of the Springfield, 
Mass.. Evening Union, has the history of 
this league pretty well at his finger tips. 

The Western League of the present has 
several cities that were in the first Western 
League. 

The Three Eyed League was, back in 
1890 and 1891, the Two Eyed League. John 
McGraw came out of this organization, so 
did Clark Griffith, though when the Old Fox 
was in it the league was called the Western 
Inter-State. 

The Southern League, as shown, dates 
back to 1885. It hasn't functioned steadily 
and once was the Southern-Texas League. 

The first Texas League known of was in 
1888. Nineteen years later it sent a pretty 
good outfielder — one Tristram E. Speaker — 
to the American League and he helped make 
that organization more solid than it was 
with the public. 

"Babe Ruth is an Internatio-nal League 
graduate and so is LTrban Shocker, though 
the last named won his spurs first in the 
old Canadian League, predecessor of the 
Michigan-Ontario. 

Baseball's Who's Who, however, shows in 
what minor leagues all the stars of the pre- 
sent made their starts and the guide books 



do give certain details about the minor 
leagues. Spalding's National Association 
handbooks, published in 1902 and 1903 and 
edited by the late Tim Murnane, throw quite 
a little light on the- compositions of the 
minor league circuits in their early days. 

The Baseball Blue Book, published by 
Louis Heilbroner, is an invaluable handbook 
to have for anyone who attempts the appa- 
rently impossible task of keeping up with 
the Class AA, A, B, C and D leagues. 

As for the best performances in each of 
these leagues, no one knows them. 

There are only a few leagues one could 
write histories on without getting into some 
other league. The American Association is 
one of them. The Tri-State League 
wouldn't be one of them. There is no Tri- 
State League now, but there was one in 
1888 and 1889 and it gave to the major 
leagues such stars as Ad Gumbert, Ed 
Delahanty and Cy Young. That Tri-State 
League was the successor to the old Ohio 
State League. 

A later Tri-State League operated with 
clubs in Delaware, Pennsylvania and New 
Jersey — and operated as a Robin Hood or- 
ganization until it confessed its sins and 
was admitted to membership in the National 
Association. About the time the Tri- 
Staters started to behave (1907) there was 
an Atlantic League, a free lance organiza- 
tion in existence and it developed (or 
started) players like Stanley Coveleskie, 
Jack (Dots) Miller and Dick Hoblitzell on 
their way to the majors. 

Years before there had been Atlantic 
Leagues and Atlantic Associations. Jesse 
Burkett came out of the Atlantic Associa- 
tion, which had an Eastern League circuit, 
and in the Atlantic League in 1896 a well- 
known novelist — Zane Grey— =-was trying to 
make a living as an outfielder with Newark. 
The president of the Atlantic League later 
was Edward Grant Barrow, business mana- 
ger of the New York American League 
club now. 

In 1897 Barrow was manager of the 
Paterson club of the Atlantic League and 
his star player was a man named John 
Peter Wagner, one of the great players of 
all time. 

John Peter, better known as Honus or 
Hans or as the Demon Dutchman, played 
his first National League game for Louisville 
at Louisville on July 19, 1897. He wasn't 
known then as the Demon Dutchman or as 
the Flying Dutchman — he merely was called 
a clumsy, bow-legged rookie from Paterson. 

The Colonels, on the date mentioned, 
downed Washington by a score of 6 to 2, the 
clumsy, boAv -legged rookie from Pat-srson 
being in centre field. He had a single in two 
trips to the plate, and cared for three 
chances — two putouts and one assist. The 



114 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 



Kentuckians' president at that time was 
Harry Clay Pulliam, later president of the 
National League, and their principal stock- 
holder was Barney Dreyfnss. 

Honus belongs on the All Star team of All 
Time, so here are some more facts about 
him : 

It was on July 21, 1897, that he got his 
first long wallop — a double, made off Lester 
German of Washington. Rather a coinci- 
dence that Napoleon Lajoie's first long hit 
in the National should have been off German, 
too. Larry's was manufactured on August 
14, 1896. M. Lajoie, New England League 
graduate, is another pastimer who belongs 
on the All Star team of All Time. 

Wagner made his first triple on July 22nd 
in a game with Boston and then participated 
in his first league double play. Honus had 
to wait for a longer time before he broke 
into the ranks of the home-run brigade, 
joining this company at the expense of Jack 
Dunn of Brooklyn on August 27th. The 
Jack Dunn of Brooklyn of 1897 is the Jack 
Dunn of Baltimore of the present time. 

Wagner's first game in the infield was 
played at second base on August 25th. Hans 
probably, during,his National League career, 
toiled in all nine positions, though few per- 
sons can recall just when he wore the har- 
ness of a backstop. Nineteen hundred and 
two was one of the seasons in which the 
Demon (or Plying) Dutchman performed on 
the rubber, for on September 5th of that 
year, he pitched part of a game against 
Boston, striking out five men, passing two 
and uncoiling four wild pitches. 

Back in 1897, when Wagner was winning 
his spurs as a National Leaguer, scribes 
had troubles of their own in finding out the 
names of batteries just as they do now. 
Witness this clipping from a paper of 1897 : 

"That was a peculiar state of affairs in the 
Louisville club the other day, in which the 
pitcher did not know the catcher's name, the 
catcher was ignorant of the pitcher's name 
and the members of the team, including the 
manager himself, were unacquainted with 
the names of either of the young men com- 
posing the club's battery for the day. 
Waddell only joined the team in Washington 
and Schreckengost joined the team only a 
short time before the game, having been 
taken on trial. 

"This all-around ignorance of names was 
shown when some spectators* in the grand- 
stand at Baltimore asked the catcher who 
was pitching. 

" 'I don't know ; I never saw him before,' 
was Schreckengost's reply. 

"Presently Waddell came to the bench and 
when someone asked him who the catcher 
was he replied : 'Couldn't tell you, first time 
I ever saw him.' 



" 'Who will be in the points today?' was 
asked of Manager Clarke before the game. 

" 'This man will pitch,' he replied, point- 
ing t-o the name Weddel on the score card, 
'and that tall fellow over there will catch. 
I don't know what his name is.' But 
Clarke called to Schreckengost and got that 
young man to spell his name out for the 
newspaper men, regardless of how long it 
delayed the game. When asked if 'Weddel' 
was the correct name. Manager Clarke re- 
plied ; 'Don't know, you will have to ask 
him.' This was done and it was found his 
name was Waddell." 

George Edward, the Rube, also goes on the 
All Star team for All Time. 

Billy Keeler, another player who belongs 
on the All Star team for All Time, led the 
National League in batting with the high 
average of .432 the first season, Wagner 
was in it and there were complaints that 
Billy was helped to the peak by generous 
scoring. Hark unto what this clipping says : 

"John Heydler, who is one of the best 
known baseball scribes in the business, says 
exception should be taken to this over gen- 
erous scoring and that Keeler's figures of 
432 will not agree with any private accounts. 
Frank Houseman of St. Louis also has ob- 
jections to Baltimore scoring methods. He 
says : 'Down in Baltimore, one day, Keeler 
sent two flies to Lally. who muffed both of 
them. Then he hit to Hartman and the 
latter fumbled and then threw wild. Then 
Keeler made a good single. The next morn- 
ing four hits appeared to Keeler's credit in 
the Baltimore papers. Talk about Cleveland 
stuffing Burkett's average, why, they are not 
in it with the oyster scribes of Baltimore.' " 

Keeler, Speaker and Cobb would be the 
outfield for the All Star team of All Time 
and the infield would be made up of Adrian 
Constantine Anson, at first base ; Napoleon 
Lajoie, at second ; James J. Collins, at 
third, and Hans Wagner, at short. 

Thus far, very easy. 

Catchers harder. One would be William 
Buckingham Ewing. Possibly his middle 
name wasn't Buckingham and the Bucking- 
ham was merely Buck added to. Another 
would be Michael J. Kelly and the third 
would be John G. Kling. considered the 
greatest money catcher of the world. 

If you want to know what a money player 
is, ask a man who has been in a flock of 
world's series. No disgrace to the title. 

Pitchers for this mythical combination 
would be Denton J. Young, Edward Arm- 
strong Walsh, Walter Perry Johnson. Chris- 
tor>her Mathewson, Mordecai Peter Centen- 
nial Brown and George Edward Waddell. 

For a substitute take Edward N. William- 
son. 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA

And for manager have William Carrigan, 
now in the banking and moving picture in- 
dustry at Lewiston, Maine. 

All in the land of the living except Ewing, 
Kelly, Waddell, Williamson and Anson. 

Anson died on April 14th of this year 
(1022) at Chicago. Charles Comiskey said 
of him : , 

"He was the greatest batter that ever 
walked up to hit at a baseball thrown by a 
pitcher." 

Every scribe certainly, as well as almost 
every fan, indulges in the inalienable right 
to draw up an all-star team. Here is the 
All-Star Team of All Time as I should draw 
it up, exercising my inalienable right as a 
fan as well as a scribe. 

1st B., Anson 

2nd B., Lajoie 

S. S., Wagner 



3rd B., Collins 
O. F., Cobb 
O. F., Speaker 
O. F., Keeler

C, Kelly 
C, Kling 
P., Young

P., Brown 
P., Mathewson 
P., Johnson 
P., Waddell 
Sub., Williamson 
Mgr., William Carrigan 
Now gentle reader, if you don't like this 
list, remember who ever did agree with any 
other fan's selection of an all-star team? 
But that's easily remedied. Pick out your 
own all-star team and then you'll be sure to 
be suited. 



BASEBALL CYCLOPEDIA 

PART VII 

Brief but Comprehensive Records of More 
than 3,500 Major League Ball Players 

The concluding section of this book is devoted to brief, 
biographical reviews of more than 3,500 Major League ball 
players. Mr. Lanigan endeavored to include in this list 
every plaj^er who has worn a big, league uniform for any 
considerable time since the American League became a 
"Major." The names of these players are all arranged 
alphabetically. In most cases the first names or initials of 
players are given together with the position played and the 
seasons spent with various Major League clubs. In some 
cases, due to meager data, complete information was not 
obtainable. Furthermore, Mr. Lanigan fears that, in spite 
of the enormous labor spent in compiling this list, some 
plaj^ers may have been omitted. The Baseball Magazine, 
as publishers of this book, will appreciate any information 
which will make future editions of this list more accurate 
or complete. In spite, however, of a few unavoidable de- 
fects, the publishers believe that Mr. Lanigan is entitled 
to the thanks of every baseball scribe and of all friends of 
baseball for the most ambitious effort ever attempted to 
reduce the player records of more than twenty years to a 
single brief but comprehensive list. As a time-saver for 
delvers in the dope, as a reference for the fans, such a list 
is invaluable. For this list makes it possible to locate in a 
moment all important, data on practically every National 
or American League player since 1901.
